The Mahler Players present Bruckner: The Fifth Symphony

Sunday 22 November 2026 | 4pm | Inverness Cathedral
Join the Mahler Players at Inverness Cathedral for a rare and spectacular performance of Anton Bruckner’s magnificent Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major.
Continuing their acclaimed Bruckner series, following recent performances of the Third and Fourth Symphonies, the Mahler Players return as a full symphony orchestra under the baton of conductor Tomas Leakey.
One of Bruckner’s greatest masterpieces, the Fifth Symphony is a monumental work of extraordinary beauty, drama and musical architecture, building towards one of the most glorious finales in the symphonic repertoire. This is a rare opportunity to experience the work live, with its last Scottish performance taking place in 2011.
The magnificent surroundings and acoustics of Inverness Cathedral provide a wonderful setting for this unforgettable afternoon of orchestral music.
Following the Mahler Players’ performance of Bruckner’s Third Symphony in 2025, Edinburgh Music Review wrote:
“Maintaining tension and musicality for this duration is no small achievement, but the Mahler Players manage it with apparent ease.”
Programme
Anton Bruckner – Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major
I. Introduction. Adagio – Allegro
II. Adagio. Sehr langsam
III. Scherzo. Molto vivace (Schnell)
IV. Finale. Adagio – Allegro moderato
The performance will last approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, with no interval.
