WSO Opening Night Mark O'Connor & Mahler 1

September 24, 2010 to September 25, 2010

WSO Opening Night Mark O'Connor & Mahler 1

* Masterworks Series A 

Acclaimed in classical, country, bluegrass and indigenous American realms, virtuoso violinist and composer Mark O’Connor performs his Double Violin Concerto with the WSO’s own Karl Stobbe. A product of America's rich aural folk tradition as well as classical and flamenco music, Mark O'Connor has melded and shaped multiple influences into a new American classical music. 

WSO associate concertmaster Karl Stobbe’s diversity has allowed him to collaborate with many exceptional conductors and enabled him to record with many of Canada’s finest musicians.


Alexander Mickelthwate conducts the orchestra for Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 – presented in the 150th anniversary year of Mahler’s birth – one of the most remarkably original works ever written for a first symphony. This melody-rich piece with biting parody and a triumphant close is a true orchestral showcase!
