Mahler’s Eighth: Symphony No. 8 in E-flat Major, ("Symphony of a Thousand") Mahler

Three choirs, eight starry singers and one of the largest orchestras ever put on stage: there’s a reason why Mahler’s Eighth is often called the ‘Symphony of a Thousand’.

‘Try to imagine the whole universe beginning to ring and resound’ declared Mahler; ‘There are no longer human voices, but planets and suns revolving.’ Exaggeration? Judge for yourself. Mahler’s Eighth is quite simply one of the most overwhelming experiences that music has to offer. Every performance is an occasion, and with Edward Gardner conducting a truly world-class team, this should be a season finale to set the heavens ringing. This concert has been especially developed with the Southbank Centre, with further details to be announced.
