Enjoy a unique performance of music that deals with some of the most profound human emotions: a deeply moving "musical love letter" from Mahler to his beloved wife, Leonard Bernstein on the true nature of love, and Ives asks deeper questions of existence itself. Haydn's "Philosopher" symphony rounds out the program. Harvard alumni get a 50% discount on tickets if ordered by September 30 (Use Promo Code LOVE for the Harvard discount). Concert tickets start at $67 and you can order tickets online or by phone. There are only a few Orchestra seats available, and a good seat selection in the Mezzanine level.
