Nestled in the heart of the Rockies, Summit County offers a serene escape where still waters, towering peaks, and open skies create a perfect haven for discovering moments of peace and reflection. Immerse yourself in an evening of serenity and introspection as we celebrate the calming beauty of music and its power to connect us with a sense of peace, drawing inspiration from the stunning landscapes and harmonious spirit of Summit County. The evening begins with Ranjbaran’s Songs of Eternity, a deeply moving work that draws from Persian poetry and to transport listeners to distant lands through rich textures and evocative melodies. The program continues with Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, a contemplative work that evokes a sense of childlike wonder and tranquility, culminating in a breathtaking soprano solo that envisions a serene, heavenly paradise.
