“The symphony must be like the world,” said Gustav Mahler. “It must embrace everything!” The SLSO concludes a tremendous classical concert season with the most extraordinary symphony of them all, Mahler’s Third. Over the course of six movements, Mahler leads us on a transformational, complex, emotional journey. Through the trials and triumphs of life, the mysticism and terrors of natural forces, and the intimacy of conversations between God and man, Mahler’s Third Symphony is earth-shattering and deeply heart-stirring. It is, indeed, everything.
