Magnificent tribute to lifeConductor: Han-Na ChangSoloist, mezzo-soprano: Marianne Beate KiellandWomen's choir and children's choirChoirmaster: Ursa LahConcertmaster: Daniel TurcinaMahler's most sunny and extroverted symphony that embraces the whole world in its magnificent tribute to life.Mahler's monumental third symphony is large in scale with six movements, alto soloist, boys' choir and ladies' choir, with birdsong, folk dances and military marches, and not least a rare register of emotions. Mahler is said to have stated that "a symphony should mirror the world - it must encompass everything". His third symphony is therefore not ashamed of this idea and is a cornucopia of moods, melodies and timbres that "embrace the world".Ticket sales start 15 August.
