Budapest Festival Orchestra

“Imagine a work of such magnitude that it actually mirrors the whole world,” Gustav Mahler said of his Third Symphony, the grandest of all his creations. Great performances of the Third are transportive, almost indescribably powerful experiences—and yet, due to its incredible logistical demands, concert performances are infrequent for such a beloved work. Tonight, take this singular musical journey with the “superb Mahlerians” (The Guardian) of the Budapest Festival Orchestra (BFO) with Iván Fischer. Recognized worldwide for its powerful Mahler performances, the BFO has “always stood out from the international crowd,” wrote Gramophone of its 2022 Orchestra of the Year. “The sound is distinctive, the music-making personal. And ‘personal,’ as we know, is the only viable way to Mahler’s heart.”
