Reflecting on the underlying themes of Mahler’s First Symphony, students will create and structure a composition based on the paths of lives, the connection to nature and the parallel joys, turbulences and tribulations encountered during these individual paths. The project will also investigate the romantic Symphonic Poem as an architectural form and as a vehicle for displaying the emotions of the romantic period. The question will be: How differently or similarly do we feel and express our feelings today? The composition will be presented in the Foyer of the Sydney Opera House during the orchestra’s big concert tour in November 2010.
