Hugh Wolff conducts the New England Conservatory Philharmonia in a performance of Mahler’s Symphony no 5 in C sharp minor. Recorded live in NEC's Jordan Hall September 30, 2015.
Conductor Hugh Wolff's work with Mahler has been well received by Boston audiences, particularly during NEC's "Mahler Unleashed" season in 2011. "As thrilling as any performance on record" (Boston Globe) was among the accolades for Mahler's First Symphony as performed by the NEC Philharmonia under Wolff's baton.

Ilya Beshevli - A Book Of Hours

"When tragedy strikes our lives, time doesn’t heal wounds. Words of condolence are not enough to alleviate the painful heart, but once we start surrendering our wounded hearts to the magical beauty of music, we may just be able to find solace from within…" excerpt from SOLACE album notes.

Structured around 5 stages of grieving (Denial, Depression, Anger, Bargaining, Acceptance), SOLACE is a personal musical healing project I created to pay tribute to my father, who's life was taken away in a senseless gun violence on the south side of Chicago.  SOLACE stays close to my heart as I process and bring powerful closure to the past 25 years of silently grieving. I share SOLACE with millions of others suffering silently due to such unfortunate events. May the power of music bring us comfort and healing and enable us to seek compassion, forgiveness, appreciation and love for one another. Let's spread MUSIC and LOVE, not bullets and hatred, and make this world a better place. May God bless us all. Thank you!
