"Summertree"
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester

Summertree by Ron Cowen.

Winner of Off-Broadway’s Vernon Rice Award and concerned with the problems and fears of young people in today’s uncertain world, this honest crucial play is both a joyous expression of the good things in life and a powerful indictment of war and the senseless waste which it can bring. Travel with our Young Man as he remembers his youth, his love, his terror, and the idiosyncrasies of living. This is a story that will question where we came from, where we’re going and most important where we are now and what do we truly value. There’s a beauty and elegance to the writing that elevates the play to the level of poetry. Cowen has distilled this bittersweet part of the human experience to its essence. Directed by Ralph Hyman.

MAHLER Symphony No. 2, “Resurrection”
 
A magnificent way to crown Maestro Itkin’s tenure at the ASO: Mahler’s glorious “Resurrection Symphony.” Its grand theme and range of emotions call for the joining together of extraordinary musical forces. In the stirring final movement, a hushed chorus intones the resurrection ode and solo voices soar, singing of forgiveness, divine compassion, and eternal life, promising: “You shall rise again, my heart, in an instant. And all you strived for shall carry you up to God!”
