The Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra closes its 39th concert season Saturday, May 7, with its spring concert, "The Majesty of Mahler," at 7:30 p.m. in the Boutell Memorial Concert Hall inside the Music Building, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb.

There will be a free preconcert lecture at 6:30 p.m. in the Recital Hall.

The orchestra, led by music director and conductor Linc Smelser, will be joined by members of the DeKalb Festival Chorus and the Oak Park Chorus to perform Symphony No. 2 in C Minor ("Resurrection") by Gustav Mahler. This monumental piece of music requires an enlarged orchestral instrumentation of more than 100, plus a large mixed choir and vocal soloists.

This concert is supported in part by the Ideal Industries Foundation with a generous gift from Jean Juday.

Tickets go on sale 30 minutes before to the concert. All seats are general admission; no reserved seating. Individual ticket prices are $15, $10 for seniors 62 and older, and $5 for students and children younger than age 12.
