About This Event
Star mezzo-soprano and former Last Night of the Proms soloist Joyce DiDonato joins Yannick N茅zet-S茅guin and The Met Orchestra for their second concert of the season. Mahler is in the spotlight celebrating the wonder of nature, innocence and faith in his Symphony No. 4 鈥� lively with birdsong and sleigh bells 鈥� and looking beyond in the contemplative meditations 鈥� on life, death and transcendence 鈥� of his R眉ckert- Lieder. The same spirit runs through the swelling, breathing orchestral arcs of the late Kaija Saariaho鈥檚 Lumi猫re et pesanteur (鈥楲ight and Gravity鈥�) 鈥� luminescent music adapted from the composer鈥檚 oratorio La Passion de Simone.
