About This Event

鈥楾he symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything.鈥� Nowhere is Mahler鈥檚 philosophy more magnificently fulfilled than in his Symphony No. 3. The vast work might start with menacing brass fanfares, but threat soon clears to reveal one of the composer鈥檚 most radiant and expansive works 鈥� a vision of man and nature, earth and heaven that wrestles with death and transcendence before coming to a concluding movement of solemn and transformative grace. Sakari Oramo conducts the 麻豆官网首页入口 Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, joined by Trinity Boys Choir and Finnish-Swedish mezzo-soprano Jenny Carlstedt.
