Erin Wagner

Erin Wagner is a mezzo-soprano scheduled to appear as soloist with the Bangor Symphony Orchestra in April 2027, singing in Mahler's Symphony No. 2 alongside a performance of Bernstein's Olympic Hymn for chorus and orchestra. Beyond this listed engagement, no further biographical details are available in our records.

In Mahler's Symphony No. 2, known as the "Resurrection" Symphony, the mezzo-soprano soloist enters in the fourth movement, a brief setting of a folk poem called "Urlicht" (Primal Light), sung slowly and simply over hushed strings and brass. This movement acts as a quiet turning point before the massive final movement, where the soloist joins the soprano and full chorus in music depicting rebirth and transcendence. Listeners can expect a voice that must project warmth and stillness in the "Urlicht" solo, then blend into a much larger choral and orchestral texture later on. The Bernstein Olympic Hymn opening the program is a shorter choral showpiece, giving the evening a ceremonial start before the two-hour Mahler symphony unfolds.
