To conclude the Mahler Festival at Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, the Berliner Philharmoniker will perform Gustav Mahler’s final two symphonies on 17 and 18 May. The Ninth Symphony will be conducted by Kirill Petrenko, while Sakari Oramo will lead the orchestra in the unfinished Tenth Symphony and Das Lied von der Erde. The festival has a fascinating history stretching back more than a century; this is only the third time it has ever been held.
Afterwards, the tour continues. With Chief Conductor Kirill Petrenko and Mahler’s Ninth, the orchestra will travel to Brussels, Cologne and Essen.
