Mahler’s ‘Song of the Earth’
A nostalgic, underground orchestral night.
Gustav Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde serves as the focal point of this concert, presenting a profound fusion of symphony and song that explores themes of life, loss, and urgent ecstasy. The program also features Joseph Haydn's Symphony no. 45, known as the 'Farewell' Symphony, which concludes with its iconic movement where musicians gradually depart the stage. Bushra El-Turk’s Mosaic opens the performance, offering a contemporary meditation on identity and exoticism with thematic links to Mahler's masterpiece.
