A tribute to the life of Murray LiebowitzConducted by Leon Botstein, music director
Mahler's magisterial Ninth—his last completed symphony—is an impassioned elegy. Composed after the death of his daughter, and the diagnosis of his own fatal heart disease, the symphony is nostalgic, urgent, and achingly glorious, expressing love of life and hope for eternity.
This concert honors the life of Murray Liebowitz, life trustee of Bard, emeritus overseer of Bard College at Simon's Rock, a devoted music lover and generous supporter of the arts.
