‘The world will never have heard the likes of my symphony!’ A bold claim by any composer, but one more than justified by Mahler’s Third Symphony. This epic, unorthodox work unfolds over six movements, painting a musical portrait of nature’s very essence. Pagan gods and Christian saints, flower meadows and silent forests, instruments and voices all come together in a work that moves beyond the confines of programme music.

Seats £18 to £68 (plus booking fee).

Prom 73 gives us all of creation in Mahler 3

David Karlin, 12th September

Gilbert and the Gewandhaus gave us a Mahler 3 that was truly the representation of all of creation that the composer strove for. It's a symphony to keep coming back for.
