In an interview with Cara Lieurance, music director Raymond Harvey discusses the only work on Friday night's program: the Symphony No. 6 'Tragic' by Gustav Mahler.

Harvey takes a tour of the symphony, movement by movement, and explains some of the artistic decisions a performance of the piece requires.
