Join us for a profound exploration of love, loss, and legacy at the Gustav and Alma Walt Disney Concert Hall. This special performance, part of the Mahler Grooves Festival, takes place from March 6 to March 9, 2025, under the baton of the esteemed Gustavo Dudamel. The Los Angeles Philharmonic, featuring mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, will delve into the complex relationship between Gustav and Alma Mahler through a poignant program that includes Alma Mahler's "Five Songs" and Gustav Mahler's "Symphony No. 5."

The concerts promise an emotional journey from mourning to triumph, mirroring the tumultuous marriage of the Mahlers, marked by passion, creativity, and tragedy. Alma, a talented composer, sacrificed her own career for Gustav, yet her "Five Songs" stand as a testament to her artistry, brought to life by the captivating Sasha Cooke. Gustav's Fifth Symphony, inspired by his love for Alma, features the tender Adagietto, a love letter in music.

Performances are scheduled for Thursday, March 6, and Friday, March 7, at 8:00 PM, Saturday, March 8, at 8:00 PM, and a matinee on Sunday, March 9, at 2:00 PM. This series is generously supported by The Otis Booth Foundation.

Don't miss this immersive experience that celebrates the Mahlers' contributions to music and their enduring, albeit complex, love story. Tickets are available now, but act fast as sales are final and availability is limited. Join us at the Walt Disney Concert Hall for a memorable evening of exquisite music and storytelling.
