Symphony No. 6 in A minor "Tragic"

Approved

Mahler once wrote: “A symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything,” and his First Symphony meets that ideal. Inspired by a 900-page novel chronicling the transformation of a passionate youth into a noble prince, Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 is an epic musical journey, overflowing with images of nature, bursting with every emotion, and ending in triumph. Performed on December 1-3, tickets are now available: https://www.philorch.org/mahler-1

The Philadelphia Orchestra Performs Mahler's Symphony No. 1

Hear The Philadelphia Orchestra in its third and final Mahler symphony performance of the Carnegie Hall season. When the ensemble last performed the Sixth Symphony on our stage in 2016, The New York Times called it a “stunning account ... notable for its sheer beauty.” They are meaningful words regarding the larger-than-life piece most commonly associated with Mahler’s personal tragedies (unforgettably punctuated by the fateful hammer blows in the surging finale)—and an affirmation of the undying love embedded in its searing melodies.
