Essential Mahler

7.30pm (concert start time)

Mahler is usually associated with vast forces but this outstanding arrangement reveals the delicacy and intimacy of this most poetic of his symphonies, offering a transparent, lucid view of the work.

Paired with a crystalline reduction of Debussy's most popular work and Berlioz' enchanting Nuit d'été, this performance offers a fresh view on much-loved works.

Debussy arr Schoenberg - L'aprés midi d'un faune David Curtis - Conductor

Berlioz arr Mathews - Nuit d'été Gillian Keith - Mezzo

Mahler arr Stein - Symphony No. 4

Informal but informative - and free to ticket holders!

We'd love to meet you before or after the concert.
