Mahler 3: Watch Party #StayHome #WithMe

Keep the Philharmonia Playing: http://www.philharmonia.co.uk/DonateMahler

Join us for a Mahler 3 Watch Party on Friday 22 May 2020 at 7pm. We can’t play for you live at the moment, but we will be there: players who took part in the 2017 performance will introduce the music, share their insights, and answer your questions in the comments during and after the stream.

Gustav Mahler’s monumental Third Symphony embraces heaven and Earth, nature and love. He deploys a huge orchestra, choirs and a solo singer to draw his listeners into a rich and compelling musical landscape.

It’s a work that means a lot to us at the Philharmonia Orchestra. Back in 1983, it was the first piece we played with an unknown young Finnish conductor, Esa-Pekka Salonen. We hit it off straight away, and he’s been our Principal Conductor since 2008.

In October 2017, we returned to this epic piece with Esa-Pekka for Mahler 3: Live from London, a live stream project watched by an audience of 126,000 worldwide. We also recorded it in 360⁰ video and audio to create a virtual reality experience, enabling anyone to find out how it feels to sit right at the heart of an orchestra in full flow.
