“Every time we take the stage, something extraordinary happens. Scores of musicians, each playing their own line, breathe life into a sound that is greater than the sum of its parts. The air vibrates, the music takes flight, and suddenly—we are transported. Transported to places that exist only in sound. Tchaikovsky’s quiet winter landscape, filled with both melancholy and wonder, as if the world is holding its breath. Brahms’s mountain ascent, breaking into a sunrise of pure triumph. Beethoven’s sparkling bottle of champagne, bubbling with laughter and joy. Weber’s fog-drenched forests, Dvorak’s Bohemian woods, Piazzolla’s sensuous dance halls, Gershwin’s jazzy Parisian streets…And the vastness of space, where Holst’s The Planets collides with the cinematic brilliance of Hans Zimmer, and the universe unfolds before our ears. This is what the Mobile Symphony does, and it can only happen in the moment—live, radiant, and real. No recording can capture the way the music moves through the hall, the way it resonates in your chest, the way you feel it before you even hear it. It’s a shared experience, one that exists only because you are there to bring it full circle.”
– Scott Speck, Music Director
