What could make Mahler feel even more profound? It could be adding vocals to the mix. Soprano Talise Trevigne (shown) is the guest soloist for the Florida Orchestra's latest masterworks concert this weekend. The program conducted by Cristian Macelaru includes Strauss' Serenade for Winds, a romantic mix of 13 wind instruments; Barber's ode to rural summers, Knoxville: Summer of 1915; and finally, Mahler's Symphony No. 4, where we learn through the singer what heaven must look like to a child. Performances are at 8 p.m. Friday at the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts in Tampa, 8 p.m. Saturday at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater. $15-$45.
