Wagner: Rienzi Overture Poulsen: Heartland Poem Mahler: Symphony #1 This concert featuers music of the Maestro's past and future. The orchestra will perform Mahler's abstract yet entertaining "Symphony #1," which was Maestro Giunta's audition piece for our symphony. Wagner's dramatic "Rienzi Overture" was on his first program book as music director of the Des Moines Symphony twenty years ago. Take a walk down memory lane as Maestro Giunta and the orchestra bring new perspectives and insights to these engaging pieces. Melding the past with the future of the symphony, we look forward to the world-premiere of our commissioned piece, "Heatland Poem".
