About This Event
Gustav Mahler poured his life into his symphonies, right from the very beginning. His Symphony No. 1 takes us through the wonder of nature and the pain of anguish. Simple tunes and folksy rhythms drive the work from despair to hope to blazing triumph. Performing the symphony is The National Youth Orchestra, comprising some of Britain’s most talented young players. They also bring with them Missy Mazzoli’s reflection on time, Orpheus Undone, Wagner’s most storm-tossed overture and a new work by the orchestra’s Resident Artist Dani Howard, written in celebration of the NYO Inspire scheme.
