Upbeat with Alasdair: Why Mahler’s Sixth Symphony Still Resonates Today

The Community Library, John A. and Carole O. Moran Lecture Hall 415 Spruce Avenue, Ketchum

Alma Mahler wrote that her husband’s Sixth Symphony was “his most personal work and also a prophetic one.”  Nicknamed the “Tragic” symphony by the composer himself, it’s a work of immense proportions and emotions.  In this edition of Upbeat, Music Director Alasdair Neale explores the enduring appeal and resonance of this epic piece to today’s audiences. This event will also be livestreamed on svmusicfestival.org.
