Valčuha Conducts Mahler 9

About This Concert

For the grand finale to our classical season, Music Director Juraj Valčuha leads Mahler’s final completed work, the extraordinary Symphony No. 9. To hear one of Mahler’s symphonies live is to feel why it’s an experience unlike anything else in music, and the Ninth is one of his most remarkable—a monumental journey of epic proportions, ending with music of rare transportive power and time-altering beauty.

What To Expect?

Thrilling drama, profound emotion, and time-altering beauty

An epic Classical Season finale, led by Music Director Juraj Valčuha

Music on a massive scale: over 100 musicians pack the stage for a monumental journey embodying Mahler’s belief that “A symphony must be like the world. It must contain everything.”
