DEFINING MOMENT #5
Mahler and the Song of the Earth
In the series of concert performances about decisive moments in the history of music, we have reached Mahler's masterful Song of the Earth . Kirsten Olesen is the narrator in a tribute song to the earth and nature - and chief conductor Kamioka leads the large orchestra and the two excellent singers Eva Vogel and Thomas Mohr.

The song of the earth springs from Mahler's awareness of his own mortality. Mahler composed the magnificent work after the most painful period of his life. Three disasters had struck him at once: he was forced to resign as director of the Wienerhof Opera, his eldest daughter died, and he was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect.

With Mahler's Song of the Earth as a musical focal point, we find ourselves in a future world after the climate disaster has occurred. Between the movements of Mahler's masterpiece, the renowned Danish actor Kirsten Olesen performs six monologues: The earth is no longer populated by humans, and the animals now, as the only survivors, tell about the decline of humans and about everything we left behind on the planet - as the earth's own speech to us. How does life go on from here? How can the earth's beauty be recreated?

Decisive Moments is Copenhagen Phil's large-scale communication project of classical masterpieces staged at the intersection of music, song, acting, storytelling, light and sound in collaboration with the digital podcast magazine Third Ear and the lighting scenographers Dark Matters.

Decisive moments are supported by the Augustinus Foundation, the William Demant Foundation, the Spar Nord Foundation, the Danish Composers' Association and the Statens Kunstfond.

Copenhagen Phil's collaboration with chief conductor Toshiyuki Kamioka is supported by the Obelske Familiefond.
