Orchestre de Paris, Klaus Mäkelä & Wiebke Lehmkuhl: Mahler 3 at Paris Philharmonic
Klaus Mäkelä opens the 2026-2027 season with Mahler's immense Third Symphony. Describing the composer as having great emotional intensity, the conductor explores the contours of this work with the Orchestre de Paris. The Third Symphony is a joyful hymn to nature, moving from the awakening of Pan in its massive first movement through four shorter vocal sections to a final reconciliatory adagio. The performance features contralto Wiebke Lehmkuhl and the combined women's and children's choirs of the Orchestre de Paris.
