The institute’s symphony gets a workout from Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, and it’s brought in some ringers to make sure the performance is masterful. The program includes the orchestra’s Concerto Competition winning soloist, soprano Catherine O’Rourke Martin, and the evening is guest conducted by Kevin Noe, professor of music, director of orchestras and graduate orchestral conducting at Michigan State University College of Music, who has commissioned and premiered more than 50 works in the past 10 years. Noe, who serves as conductor, stage director, actor, writer and filmmaker for a wide range of mixed-media, operatic and theatrical productions, is the executive artistic director and conductor of the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble and appears regularly at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University as conductor of operas, symphonies and ballets.

Intersections dance show at 6 p.m. Sunday at The Dance Complex, 536 Massachusetts Ave., Central Square. Free, but RSVPing here is appreciated.

The Dance Complex’s “Intersections” is an exhibition set apart from a traditional dance concert by its months-long collaborations between people and groups from different creative communities, including the Massachusetts College of Art Design. This final exhibition incorporates all of the work – live performances, multimedia installations and more. Information is here.

There’s also a $15 show at 7:30 p.m. Saturday called “Inclined | Intimations” from Boston’s modern/contemporary Intimations Dance troupe and the Brooklyn-based Inclined Dance Project. The night tackles some weighty topics: For Intimations, “What is socially acceptable to be obsessed with? What is not? Interested in the idea of how being watched leads to certain performed behaviors, Intimations Dance implores the audience to reflect on their own experiences ‘performing’ their daily lives”; Inclined, meanwhile, describes its “Stuck Together Pieces” as an exploration in “connecting, disconnecting and re-connecting. The work delves into the complex bonds of human beings within physical and mental space, dissecting how environment, distance and personalities affect interactions and relationships. Inclined Dance Project also presents the premier of Temporizer, which examines dominant and reticent energies.” Information is here.
