On Wednesday 1 November the RAI National Symphony Orchestra returns to Ferrara to perform one of the masterpieces of the 20th century: Gustav Mahler’s Fifth Symphony. The Symphony opens with a funeral march performed by a lonely trumpet. It is the beginning of a journey that leads from tragedy to triumph.
The trumpet plays an important role also in The Unanswered Question, by the American composer Charles Ives, which completes the evening’s programme. In this work, the instrument poses “the perennial question of existence” which remains, of course, unanswered.
