As Gustav Mahler began his Ninth Symphony, he was fully aware of its portent. Like Beethoven, Schubert and Bruckner before him, his Ninth was to be the last he finished.

Conductor & repertoire change
Please note: Mark Wigglesworth has had to withdraw from this concert for personal reasons. However, we are delighted that Yoel Gamzou has agreed to step in to conduct the Orchestra. As a result of this change, Britten鈥檚 Sinfonia da Requiem will no longer form part of this programme. There will no longer be an interval.
As Gustav Mahler began his Ninth Symphony, he was fully aware of its portent. Like Beethoven, Schubert and Bruckner before him, his Ninth was to be the last he finished. Mahler knew about his heart defect which would prove fatal. This most epic of symphonies is one last, glorious journey, from the faltering opening to Mahler鈥檚 own dance of death, the Rondo-Burleske. There鈥檚 something else which courses through the veins of the Ninth: a quotation from a waltz by Johann Strauss. It鈥檚 called 鈥楨njoy Life鈥�. Conductor Yoel Gamzou is a renowned Mahler specialist and so we couldn鈥檛 be more thrilled that he鈥檚 able to join us for this performance.
