Music Director Emeritus Thierry Fischer continues his storytelling with Mahler’s “Tragic” Symphony No. 6—a deeply personal wandering into the composer’s inner thoughts and premonitions. Discover the depths of Mahler’s psyche as he grapples with love, loss, and fate. With tender sketches of his wife, Alma, a heart-rending musical representation of childhood innocence turning tragic, and more, each movement of this symphony reveals layers of meaning. In the chilling finale, prepare for the giant hammer strike that symbolizes the blows of fate that haunt Mahler’s vision.
