About the Performance
What comes after journey’s end? This concert explores the restlessness of the human spirit, especially when confronted by a reality bigger than ourselves. Sibelius’s Lemminkäinen’s Return brings listeners to the end of a hero’s tumultuous journey and the task of moving on from adventure to build a new life. Kaija Saariaho’ Saarikoski Songs poetically dissects how human nature is implicated in the destruction of nature. Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 expands upon an innocent worldview: a child’s vision of heaven, the people that live there, and the carefree pace of eternal life. Together, these majestic works demand our attention and deeper self-reflection.
