Strauss & Mahler - Presented by the Jackson Symphony Orchestra

The Jackson Symphony Orchestra invites you to an extraordinary evening featuring a masterfully crafted selection of deeply expressive and heroic masterworks. We are proud to welcome spectacular soloist Leelanee Sterrett to the stage for Strauss’s Horn Concerto No. 1, a brilliant, fun, and technically dazzling showcase for the horn. The performance reaches its breathtaking peak with Gustav Mahler’s legendary Symphony No. 1, “Titan”—a dramatic, sweeping masterpiece celebrated worldwide for its unforgettable melodies and one of the most thrilling, triumphant finales in classical music history.
Expect an atmosphere that is epic, heroic, and deeply moving. This concert centers around immense scale, capturing the maximum power of the live orchestra.
