A celebration of the song cycle, from Beethoven to today. This intimate afternoon of music begins with Beethoven’s An die ferne Geliebte, continues through iconic cycles by Wagner and Mahler and concludes with Philip Sawyers’ searing meditation on the outbreak of World War I, Songs of Loss and Regret.

MahlerFest hosts an abundance of world-class singers this year. We couldn’t let so much talent in one place go to waste! Join us for this exclusive afternoon performance with wine and snacks in a beautiful home overlooking the Boulder Valley.
