Mahler in Sequence

[Don]

I got given to me some tickets for the Mahler in Sequence series in New York City Carnegie Hall  in May. My benefactor can go to 1-5 and gave 6 and 7 to someone else. I can get away for the weekend of 5/15-5/17 so I get to hear Boulez/Staatskapelle Berlin and soloists in M8, Barenboim/Staatskapelle Berlin in M9, M10 Adagio only  ( ) and DLvdE.

Anyone in NY area, I may have an extra ticket for the M8. I'll keep you posted.

Great, Don!

Are you going to the lecture-performance Mahler program at Carnegie Hall Saturday afternoon, May 2? It features talks by Gilbert Kaplan, Henry-Louis de La Grange, and Sedgwick Clark; and Christianne Stotijn will sing. You can check it out at

Living some five hours away from NYC, I miss most of the Mahler action there, I regret to say. Moreover, the expense of staying overnight can be prohibitive.

Do you belong to the Gustav Mahler Society of New York?

Unfortunately I can not attend that lecture, nor am I am member of the NY Mahler Society. Actually I live in Kansas City, MO so this is a trip for me. I know someone who has an apt near Carnegie Hall so the expense for me is the plane fare and a trinket from Bergdorf's.
