Live Concert Watch Party: Mahler's 9th Symphony with the Berlin Philharmonic
Live Concert Watch Party: Mahler's 9th Symphony with the Berlin Philharmonic In-Person
“It is the expression of an extraordinary love of the earth, for Nature. The longing to live on it in peace, to enjoy it completely, to the very heart of one’s being, before death comes, as irresistibly it does.”
Join us for a special live concert watch party and experience Gustav Mahler's monumental Symphony No. 9 in a Berlin Philharmonic concert, conducted by the renowned Kirill Petrenko. This masterpiece, Mahler’s final completed symphony, serves as both a farewell and a visionary glimpse into the future of musical modernism.
You'll be guided through the powerful themes of the symphony, with insightful program notes provided by Digital Concert Hall. As part of a special offering for students, faculty, and staff, these notes will help you better understand the emotional depth and complexity of Mahler’s music.
About the Symphony: Mahler’s Ninth Symphony is filled with profound expression—from the soaring, tragic beauty of its opening movement, described by Alban Berg as "the most glorious thing" Mahler ever wrote, to the unsettling, dissonant final movement that seems to mark a solemn farewell to life. Kirill Petrenko, the Berlin Philharmonic’s Chief Conductor, navigates these emotional landscapes with precision, bringing this monumental work to life in all its glory and sorrow.
Don’t miss this chance to witness a transformative interpretation of Mahler’s Symphony No. 9. This event is free and open to the UO community.
