M2M Summer set 2026 – Chopin and Gorecki

Rehearsals for this set are on April 30, May 7, May 14, May 21, May 28, June 4, June 11, June 18, June 21.

Thank you for your interest in M2M’s Summer Set! This program will include: Gorecki: Symphony No. 3 "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs" (with Marnie Breckenridge, soprano) And Chopin: Fantasy on Polish Airs (with Daniel Glover, piano) Two Polish composers, two fabulous soloists, and some great music! Gorecki's 3rd Symphony is one of classical music's biggest hits, when the 1992 recording sold 700,000 copies - but it's now a bit of a distant memory, while the piece remains one of the most heart-wrenchingly beautiful works. Rarely performed in recent years, WE will get to do it! Because of that, this concert may get a lot of attention, possibly some press. CONCERT: Sunday, June 21 1:00pm Call / 3:00pm Concert at Herbst Theatere. REHEARSALS: Tuesday evenings, 7:30-10:00pm at St. Mark's Lutheran Church, SF: 4/30, 5/7, 5/14, 5/21, 5/28, 6/4, 6/11, 6/18 NOTE: We want a rich, full string section for the Gorecki - lots of divisi and beautiful chords to create. Lots of harp and piano, too. Winds/Brass/Timp - this is a light program for you! You won't need to attend all the rehearsals (for some of you, only a few!), as you play very little in the Gorecki (but are still VERY important), and the Chopin is short and not difficult.
