Mahler’s First by Heart
Kensington Gore, South Kensington, London SW7 2AP, UK
Proms favourites Nicholas Collon and the Aurora Orchestra explore Gustav Mahler’s monumental First Symphony. The performance begins with a dramatised first half featuring mezzo-soprano Natalie Lewis, which delves into the musical and historical narrative of the work. This is followed by a complete performance of the symphony, played entirely from memory by the orchestra. The piece famously weaves together influences from nature, folk song, and klezmer music into a singular symphonic vision.
