About This Event

In this season’s second Mahler symphony, the composer wrestles with the essential questions of humanity in a work that took over six years to complete. Faith, mortality and the hope of resurrection are the subject of this epic musical exploration, which culminates in a glowing, transcendent choral finale.

The 91Èȱ¬ Symphony Orchestra and its Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo are joined by soloists Elizabeth Watts and Elisabeth Kulman as well as the combined forces of the 91Èȱ¬ Symphony Chorus and The Bach Choir for a work whose scale and scope come into their own in the Royal Albert Hall.

There will be no interval
