Mahler’s ‘Resurrection’ Symphony starts with a funeral march and finishes in a world reborn.
In between come tender memories, distant trumpets and a breathtaking musical panorama of the Day of Judgment itself. It’s an incredible journey, and one that you can only truly experience in a live performance, where you can feel the very air shake. If you only know it from recordings, you haven’t really heard it at all – so join us as Vladimir Jurowski, Sofia Fomina, Sarah Connolly and the combined forces of the London Philharmonic Choir and Philharmonia Chorus commit body and soul to some of the most visionary music that Mahler ever composed.
