Brahms with Zubin Mehta

Walt Disney Concert Hall

Experience the grandeur of Arnold Schoenberg's "Gurrelieder" under the baton of Zubin Mehta, a maestro with a profound connection to this epic masterpiece. This special performance is part of the "Schoenberg at 150 Festival," celebrating the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth. Join us at the Walt Disney Concert Hall for two exclusive performances on Friday, December 13, 2024, at 8:00 PM, and Sunday, December 15, 2024, at 2:00 PM.

"Gurrelieder" is Schoenberg's monumental cantata that stands as a testament to the late Romantic era, evoking the lush, emotional landscapes reminiscent of Wagner and Mahler. Its massive scale requires an extraordinary ensemble of five soloists, multiple choirs, a narrator, and a gargantuan orchestra, making it a rare and cherished piece in the classical music repertoire. Zubin Mehta, LA Phil Conductor Emeritus, brings his unparalleled expertise to this work, having conducted its LA Phil premiere and recorded it multiple times. This performance marks a poignant return to one of Mehta's signature pieces, offering audiences a unique opportunity to witness his masterful interpretation of the operatic emotion and architectural grandeur of "Gurrelieder."

The Los Angeles Philharmonic, along with a stellar lineup of soloists including Christine Goerke (soprano Tove), Brandon Jovanovich (tenor Waldemar), Violeta Urmana (mezzo Waldtaube), Gerhard Siegel (tenor Klaus-Narr), and Dietrich Henschel (speaker), will bring this masterpiece to life. The Los Angeles Master Chorale, led by Artistic Director Grant Gershon and Associate Artistic Director Jenny Wong, will add to the splendor of this performance.
