Jun Märkl, Ingrid Fliter & NSO

Gustav Mahler's symphonies are often profound meditations on life and death. In his Symphony No. 6, the composer imbues every movement with a sense of fate, using an expansive orchestral palette to convey a grandeur that is both awe-inspiring and emotionally compelling.

Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor, his only work of its kind, stands as one of the most cherished and significant compositions of the Romantic era. With a richly imaginative style, the concerto radiates warmth, passion, and lyrical romance. Argentine pianist Ingrid Fliter, silver medalist of the 14th International Chopin Piano Competition and internationally acclaimed for her interpretations of Romantic repertoire, joins NSO Music Director Jun Märkl in a compelling rendition of this masterpiece, promising an evening of heartfelt musical brilliance.
