2014 Northwest Mahler Festival Reading Sessions: Strauss

Strauss: Alpine Symphony
Dr. Mark Perlman, conductor

This event is an open Reading Session where local musicians (professional, amateur and student) may experience an opportunity to play an orchestral work that they might not usually have an opportunity to. Each Reading Session is led by a different conductor, thus giving all participants a chance to experience various conducting styles, and is very unique.

Reading sessions are free for all participants. Donations will be gladly accepted at all reading sessions.

All participants must register.

About Northwest Mahler Festival

The Northwest Mahler Festival was founded in 1995 by three Seattle area musicians – Dan Weiss, Robin Miller, and David McBride – to provide the opportunity for local area musicians, including serious avocational musicians, professionals, and talented students, to experience the large-scale Romantic works not generally accessible to smaller local orchestras, and to bring this music to the public. This includes works for orchestra alone as well as for orchestra and chorus.
