Messiaen’s Turangalîla

”It’s a love song,” Messiaen said of his Turangalîla Symphony—and as Thierry Fischer leads the symphony in this 10-movement masterpiece, it is his own love song to the community he’s served for 14 years as Music Director. The work’s title is derived from two Sanskrit words that are almost untranslatable—meaning all at once love, joy, time, movement, rhythm, life, and death—and similarly, there seems to be no limit to what this mind-blowing music expresses. Thank you Utah Symphony for sharing tickets with our Sharetix community for this special evening with the symphony and Maestro Fischer.

Our recipients enjoyed experiencing the live music at beautiful Abravanel Hall. Emmanuel said, “Always a great experience.” Nimbona wrote, “I was able to experience something new. I am grateful!”
