The Cabot

Symphony by the Sea opens its 45th season on Sunday, November 8, at 3 p.m. at the Cabot Theater, with “The Heavenly Life,” featuring Mahler’s Symphony No. 4. Mahler imagines heaven through a child’s eyes. The symphony opens with sleigh bells, unfolds in sunlit melodies, and closes with a child’s joyful song of&nbsp;paradise,&nbsp;a vision so dear to the composer that he built the entire work around it.
Soprano Sara Heaton, a member of the Metropolitan Opera Chorus whose singing critics have praised for its “gleaming lyricism,” returns as guest soloist. Maestro Donald Palma, a founding member of the renowned Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, conducts.
Founded in 1981, Symphony by the Sea is the premier professional orchestra north of Boston, presenting outstanding musicians and celebrated soloists.

​Sing along to chart-topping favorites like “Silly Love Songs” by Paul McCartney &amp; Wings, “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon, “What a Fool Believes” by The Doobie Brothers, “I Can’t Go for That” by Hall &amp; Oates, “Brandy” by Looking Glass, and “Baby Come Back” by Player—plus unforgettable hits like “Baker Street” by Gerry Rafferty, “Ride Like the Wind” by Christopher Cross, and many more smooth classics!

Every harbor. Every sunset cruise. Every deck party in between. They were there. They were cool. They showed up with 100% pure uncut yacht rock…because you can’t fake smooth!
