NOTE: this concert has been cancelled due to the storms.

Mahler interpreter Nathalie Stutzmann presents the complete song cycle The Boy's Magic Horn, a wondrous world of storytelling drawn from centuries of folk poetry. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra welcomes two rising stars, Fleur Barron, a "revelation . . . [a] meltingly rich mezzo" (L.A. Times), and Samuel Hasselhorn, a baritone possessing a "rich, dark sound" and gift for "[evoking] emotional extremes" (The Guardian). Maestro Stutzmann pairs the Mahler with a symphony by Shostakovich, a defiant, action-packed tragicomedy written under the thumb of a murderous tyrant in Soviet Russia.

Performances on Sept. 26 & 27.

About Fleur Barron, mezzo-soprano

Fleur Barron's mezzo-soprano is "multi-layered and vibrant: imagine a voice that seems to have the blood in one’s viens and the life forces of nature running through it" (Opera News). Hailed as "a charismatic star" (The Boston Globe) and "a knockout performer" (The Times), the Singaporean-British artist possesses "incredible poise and expressive weight – not to mention a thrillingly dark and rich-veined mezzo, and a striking stage presence" (Seen and Heard International). Barron makes her Atlanta debut with Julius Drake, the "collaborative pianist nonpareil" (The New Yorker) who conjures "myriad pianistic moods with a masterly touch" (The Times).
