The annual FOOSA Summer Music Festival brings together world-renowned classical musicians with young artists for two weeks of incredible concerts.

Discover moving performances by amazing musicians as FOOSA brings the world to Fresno … and Fresno to the world.

Featured concert: From Sorrow to Celebration: Mahler 5 at the Saroyan

Grief and loss are transformed through the power of love into joy and jubilation.

In Gustav Mahler’s Fifth Symphony, the composer delivered a heartfelt love letter to his future wife. While reaching for emotion which went beyond words, he also stepped beyond the voice-centered works of his youth and into a new realm of purely instrumental music.

But first, Maurice Ravel comes to terms with the realization that the society he admires has a dark side, and that its enchanting culture comes with a tragic human cost, in La Valse.

Join the FOOSA Philharmonic at the Saroyan Theatre on this epic journey from darkness into light.

Date: Friday, June 24
Time: 8 p.m.
