Gustav Mahler—who said “a symphony must be like the world—it must contain everything”—created a vast panorama of life’s deepest emotions in his Sixth Symphony. Nicknamed the “Tragic,” it unflinchingly examines and foreshadows Mahler’s own life with Austrian marches, religious chorales, romantic melodies and the final hammer blows of fate. Requiring a massive Mahler-sized orchestra under the direction of conductor Jukka-Pekka Saraste, the Sixth Symphony is a must-see experience for classical music aficionados.
11/4 Saturday concert will also be projected outside on the wallcast.
