Gustav Mahler's Ninth Symphony has been called sublime, lush, and mind-blowing. For Eric Jacobsen, music director of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, it is "one of the greatest accomplishments of humanity—on par with architectural masterpieces like the Taj Mahal and the Duomo in Florence." Having been diagnosed with a terminal heart condition, Mahler composed his Ninth Symphony, his final completed symphony, while confronting his own mortality. The emotional work takes the listener on a musical journey from the beauty of life to the tranquillity of the great unknown. Don't miss the opportunity to hear this monumental masterpiece LIVE with the Virginia Symphony Orchestra!
