Los Angeles Philharmonic performs Mahlers First Symphony and a piano concerto by John Williams with Emanuel Ax. Tickets on Mood.
Mahler’s First Symphony is considered to be one of his most honest and audacious artistic statements on life, death, tragedy, and triumph. With its early echoes of nature and birdsong, explosive crescendos, and heaven-storming finale, the nickname “Titan” couldn’t be more fitting. Anna Handler, a Dudamel Fellow from Walt Disney Concert Hall’s 2023/24 season, returns to lead the orchestra in this gargantuan symphony. She reunites with pianist Emanuel Ax for a thorny yet velvety piano concerto by film score legend John Williams. Written specifically for Ax, Williams’ concerto is haunted by the ghosts of jazz past, echoing whispers from the styles of Art Tatum, Bill Evans, and Oscar Peterson.
The performance takes place on May 27, 2027, at Walt Disney Concert Hall located at 111 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA.
The Los Angeles Philharmonic performs under conductor Anna Handler, joined by pianist Emanuel Ax.
