Spokane Symphony: James Lowe - Mahler's Fifth

Spokane Symphony: James Lowe - Mahler's Fifth at Martin Woldson Theatre At The Fox

A lone trumpet call breaks the silence. Then Mahler's Fifth Symphony begins its journey from that dark opening through raw emotion toward one of the most exhilarating finales in orchestral music. On Saturday, May 8, 2027, at 7:30 PM, the Spokane Symphony performs Mahler's Fifth at the Martin Woldson Theatre at The Fox. Music Director James Lowe conducts the complete symphony, closing the season on the grandest possible scale.

Before the performance, Lowe offers his live LoweDown preconcert talk at 6:30 PM. His introduction offers a way into the symphony's structure and emotional contrasts. Understanding the structure changes how you listen. When the symphony unfolds, you hear where Mahler builds tension, where he releases it, and why the finale feels so triumphant.

Bring someone who appreciates music beyond the melody. A partner who listens for orchestral detail, a friend who respects ambitious composition, or a young musician curious about symphonic scale. Mahler wrote this as a visionary work, raw and ultimately victorious. Experiencing it together gives you a monumental performance to remember and plenty to discuss afterward.
