Mahler: Symphony No.1 Titan

Eduardo Strausser: Conductor
Isata Kanneh-Mason

Mahler’s First Symphony opens with shimmering sunlight and sounds of nature, starting 2024/25 in a wakening landscape scene that seems to pick up the idea of ‘rebirth’ that closed the 2023/24 Season.
We join a walking wayfarer as they make peace with their tempestuous past and stride confidently into their future – not a bad way to start a new Season!
Michael Gallen’s How To Go Off (Like A Rocket) opens the concert with a burst of glittering musical fireworks as it depicts the Oscar Wilde short story The Remarkable Rocket.
Our guest soloist is Isata Kanneh-Mason, fresh from opening the 2024 BBC Proms, who performs Beethoven’s gorgeously warm Fourth Piano Concerto.
