Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 9 is a monumental work in every sense of the word. Taking about 90 minutes in performance, it requires a very large symphony orchestra, making full use of the entire orchestral spectrum. This final symphony Mahler completed in his lifetime is a work of grand and profound emotions as well as large-scale formal innovations, a truly majestic farewell to the world. In the words of Herbert von Karajan, “it is music coming from another world, it is coming from eternity”.

Anna Þorvaldsdóttir's work "ax" is an orchestral piece derived from her composition "METAXIS," which premiered in the atrium of Harpa at the Reykjavik Arts Festival in spring 2024. "METAXIS" was composed for a "scattered orchestra and space," where the spacious foyer of Harpa connected separate groups of instrumentalists each playing in their respective corners. Now, Anna has distilled this work into the orchestral piece "ax," to be enjoyed in Eldborg in traditional concert form.

The Academy of St Mary-le-Bow are delighted to welcome back guest conductor Maxime Tortelier to perform Mahler's thrilling Symphony No.1 in D Major, nicknamed 'Titan'. The programme opens with Mahler's lesser-known Blumine: a standalone work that was the original Andante movement from the composers first symphony, but was removed by Mahler in 1896. The orchestra also welcomes outstanding soloist Roelof Temmingh who will perform Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23.

The highly acclaimed English mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly has held the title of Dame Sarah since 2017. Her opera career has been long and successful, spanning from the Baroque to contemporary repertoire. Among the many celebrated productions she has been involved in are Mozart's Titus at the English National Opera, Purcell's Dido and Aeneas at La Scala in Milan, and Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos at the Metropolitan Opera in New York.

Alongside her opera career worldwide, art song has always been a central part of her artistry. Here we hear her in songs that truly showcase her versatility, by composers including Robert Schumann, Gustav Mahler, Barber, Eisler, and Britten.

Magnus Svensson is the artistic director of the lied concert series. Alongside concert activities in the Nordic countries and the rest of Europe, he has also performed in Russia and the USA. Since 2012, he has also worked at the Royal Swedish Academy of Music on the re-publishing of older Swedish music.

Weilerstein & Nilsson

Pavel Haas (1899–1944) and Gustav Mahler (1860–1911) emerged from similar roots in the Bohemia that is now Czechia: Haas from Brno and Mahler from Kaliste, 120 kilometers away. Both were Jewish, but Haas hailed from a Moravian-Jewish family and Mahler from an Austrian-Jewish one.

Pavel Haas was deported during World War II to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, later to be murdered in Auschwitz. His only symphony remained unfinished. It wasn't until half a century later that the remaining material was orchestrated, and the work premiered in 1998. Haas' creative output is characterized by Bohemian and Jewish influences, with elements of folk music and jazz. The symphony is a remarkable, staggering piece.

If darkness pervades Haas' symphony, Mahler's fourth symphony is brighter, lyrical, and playful. It's been dubbed "sky blue" at times, and the fourth movement features a soprano solo: "Wir geniessen die himmlischen Freuden," "We enjoy the heavenly pleasures."

The soloist is our latest soprano star in the international music scene, Christina Nilsson. Conducting this captivating program with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is the American conductor Joshua Weilerstein, noted for his championing of rare works.

A rich and evocative programme on tour in Bristol, with Chief Conductor Sir Antonio Pappano.

Walton’s dream-like and sometimes uneasy Cello Concerto inhabits a meditative musical universe. It starts with a ticking clock and ends by drifting into a reverie. In between is a restless, energetic sequence of thoughts before the calm of the finale.

In Mahler’s First Symphony, the earth wakens to sounds of nature and nostalgic folk songs in the first movement. The middle movement is charm itself, while the finale is a funeral march to the tune of ‘Frère Jacques’. Not for nothing was it nicknamed ‘Titan’.

Si la cantate BWV 48 exprime la souffrance de l’homme conscient de ses fautes, Le Chant de la Terre la douleur de l’être devant la vanité de sa condition, Bach et Mahler laissent aussi entrevoir une possibilité d’apaisement. Mahler aimait particulièrement la cantate BWV 48 (1723), qu’il aurait peut-être même dirigée. A-t-il été sensible à sa trajectoire, de la lamentation à l’espoir ? De tels sentiments sont présents dans les poèmes chinois du VIIIe siècle mis en musique dans Le Chant de la Terre (1909), arrangé pour orchestre de chambre par Glen Cortese. Célébration de la beauté de la nature et de sa fragilité, joie exubérante de l’homme ivre, solitude douloureuse, angoisse à l’approche de la mort : les émotions alternent jusqu’au dernier mouvement, qui scelle la réconciliation de l’homme et du monde.

With some music, words can’t ever come close. When Gustav Mahler wrote his Ninth Symphony, he knew that he was living on borrowed time, and so he poured everything he had into one of the most poignant and powerful symphonies ever written. In what should be a highlight of the RSNO’s Concert Season, Music Director Thomas Søndergård leads them through a wonderland of hymn tunes, Viennese waltzes, half-remembered songs and distant trumpets – before the sun sets on Mahler’s very own, heartbreaking farewell.

Dvořák and Mahler for an unforgettable concert

Leipzig Gewandhausorchester is, today, the oldest orchestra in the world. It was founded in 1743 in the city of Leipzig, one of the European cradles of the history of music. Among its directors we find the names of Felix Mendelssohn, Arthur Nikisch, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Bruno Walter or Riccardo Chailly. Andris Nelsons has led since being appointed in 2018; he is recognised for his singular way of conducting and his huge personality.

The Leipzig Gewandhausorchester treasures a history which forms part of the universal patrimony of music: during Beethoven’s lifetime, it performed all his nine symphonies. It also premiered Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3 “Scottish” and Schubert’s Symphony No. 9 “The Great”. Wagner, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Grieg and Strauss conducted their works with this legendary orchestra. Milestone after milestone, generation after generation.Today, more than one hundred musicians continue its tradition for a legacy full of life.

For this occasion, the orchestra invites German soprano Christiane Karg - born in Baviera and musically educated at the Mozarteum and in Verona - to be part of the programme. Since her debut at the Salzburg Festival, Karg has performed at the Frankfurt Opera, Semperoper of Dresden and in La Scala of Milan.

‘Without him, a radio choir in Germany dedicated to new music like the SWR Vokalensemble would have been inconceivable,’ wrote the SWR Vokalensemble on the occasion of Clytus Gottwald’s death in 2023. Gottwald beautifully arranged late romantic music by Mahler, Wolf, Strauss, and Schreker for choir. His arrangement of Mahler’s famous Adagietto from the Fifth Symphony enjoys international acclaim.

A concert that transports you to the heart of late Romanticism. In just three years, Hugo Wolf composed around 200 Lieder that capture the essence of the fin de siècle zeitgeist. Mahler’s music too, masterfully echoes the dramatic clashes in art and society that defined his era. Such as Um Mitternacht (At Midnight): four introspective, wandering minor verses followed by a radiant major key as the text proclaims with newfound trust: ‘Hab ich die Macht in Deine Hand gegeben: Herr über Tod und Leben’ (‘I commended my strength into your hands: Lord over death and life’).

When Omer Meir Wellber is conducting, there’s no such thing as a routine concert – every performance is a chance to make unexpected connections; to hear familiar pieces in new and fascinating ways. Haydn blows the roof off with one of his most explosive symphonies, and the teenage Mahler gets seriously emotional in a rarely-heard early gem. Add another artist who strikes sparks – violinist Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider – and Tchaikovsky’s hugely popular Violin Concerto will never have sounded more alive. Three very different composers, but in Wellber’s hands, they’re all part of the same unforgettable story.

Tokyo Philharmonic OrchestraSun, Mar 2, 2025 at 12:00KBS Symphony Orchestra & Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra joint concert

The year 2025 marks the 60th anniversary of the signing of “the Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and South Korea” and the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries. In March 2025, to commemorate this milestone and in the hope of further developing friendship and continuing peace between Japan and South Korea, the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra and Korea's leading orchestra, the KBS Symphony Orchestra will hold special joint orchestra concerts in two cities, Tokyo and Seoul, under the direction of Honorary Music Director Myung-Whun Chung, featuring young talents representing both countries as soloists (special sponsor: Lotte Holdings Co., Ltd.).

The concert was conceived and will be conducted by Maestro Myung-Whun Chung, a world-renowned conductor from South Korea, Honorary Music Director of the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra/Conductor Laureate of the KBS Symphony Orchestra. Under the baton of this world-renowned maestro born in Asia, members of the Japanese and Korean orchestras will come together as one orchestra to realize a collaboration between the two countries through music. The first half of the concert will feature Mozart's "Concerto for Two Pianos," performed with two young pianists from Japan and Korea as soloists. The main program will feature Mahler's "Symphony No. 1 'Titan,'" which is highly popular among classical music fans around the world.

The orchestra is said to be a microcosm of society. Two "societies" come together under the maestro's direction to create music ― this moving experience will surely be irreplaceable and strengthen the friendship between the two countries.

Tickets go on general sale on 7 January 2025
