Masterworks 1: The Mahlers
The Spokane Symphony opens its 80th season with Mahler’s titanic First Symphony; a vivid journey from mysterious dawn through fanfares, folk dances, and intense struggles, culminating in a blisteringly triumphant finale. Gustav Mahler forbade his new wife Alma from composing, claiming, “There is room for only one composer in the family.” The symphony presents some of Alma’s early songs, revealing a talented composer lost to the world.

Masterworks 3: Darko
After a triumphant jump-in performance last season, we’re delighted to welcome back Guest Conductor Darko Butorac. Butorac’s program features a favorite piece of his, Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony, a powerful work written near the end of World War II that captures the struggle and optimism of the human spirit amidst wartime. The program is balanced by Mozart’s sweet and pure 4th violin concerto played by young prodigy Karisa Chiu.

Masterworks 5: Stolen Melodies
Jess Walter, New York Times best-selling author, brings us his own witty, irreverent, and lyrical take on Britten’s “Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” (aka “The Inland Northwesterner’s Guide to the Orchestra”). In the first half of this program, you’ll hear haunting interpretations of works written by earlier composers, including Vaughan Williams, who borrowed a theme from the 16th century English composer, Thomas Tallis.

Masterworks 8: Verdi Requiem
Guiseppe Verdi’s monumental Requiem is an epic and deeply moving work written in honor of Italian writer Alessandro Manzoni. This choral masterpiece merges operatic intensity with sacred reverence, exploring the full range of human emotions—from fear and sorrow to hope and transcendence. It stands as one of Verdi’s most profound and stirring works, a requiem that feels both personal and universal.
