IPO Heavenly Voice

Illinois Philharmonic conductor Carmon DeLeone and soprano
NaGuanda Nobles will perform Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, Mozart's "Ah se in ciel, benigne stelle," Rachmaninoff's Vocalise and Mahler's Symphony No. 4 in G major. The transcendent qualities of the music on this program infuse one with emotional extremes: joy and sorrow, elegy and ecstasy. Soprano NaGuanda Nobles sings the Vocalise, a song without words, replete with lush melodies, while Mahler's Symphony No. 4 offers a glimpse of heaven through a child's innocent eyes. Bach's masterwork, Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, completes this selection of heavenly music. Tickets start at $30.
