Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra: Nature & Soul - Schubert and Mahler

Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra: Nature & Soul - Schubert and Mahler at Howard L. Schrott Center for the Arts

The Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra puts nature and musical feeling into conversation in Nature & Soul. This one asks you to lean in.

On January 16, 2027, the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra brings Nature & Soul – Schubert and Mahler to the Howard L. Schrott Center for the Arts in Indianapolis. The evening opens a door to two very different musical worlds. Schubert's Symphony No. 3 in D major sits beside Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde, and that pairing gives the night a shape worth leaving the couch for. You are not getting a random sampler. You are getting a program with a point of view. The Mahler is the piece to circle. Das Lied von der Erde weaves orchestral writing together with vocal soloists, and here it arrives in Iain Farrington's chamber-orchestra arrangement. That matters. A chamber-scale treatment is a different experience from an assumed full symphonic sound, and hearing it live is how you find out what that difference feels like. Two guest singers carry the vocal side: alto Olga Perez Flora and tenor Jamie Flora. Human voices, live instruments, one room. No recording can give you that exact moment.

Maybe you love Schubert and want to hear Mahler up close. Maybe you know Mahler and are curious about a more intimate version. Classical music hits hardest when you share the air with the people making it. Pick your seat for the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, Schubert, Mahler and two guest soloists, and secure your place at the Schrott Center now.
