Experience the monumental "Mahler, Résurrection" with the Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège (OPRL) under the baton of Gergely Madaras. This grand performance is set to take place on Thursday, February 27, 2025, at 20:00, in the prestigious Namur Concert Hall. The concert promises an unforgettable evening with a duration of approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Mahler's Symphony No. 2, known as the "Resurrection Symphony," is a masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of music to explore themes of life, death, and rebirth. The composition demands a vast ensemble, featuring a four-part choir, two soloists, and off-stage instruments, all contributing to the work's profound emotional depth and complexity. This performance is particularly special as it reconnects with the Mahlerian storms, with Gergely Madaras leading the OPRL in a tribute to Mahler's own presentation of the work in Liège on January 22, 1899, marking his first time conducting his music outside the German-speaking territories.

The concert will showcase the talents of soprano Polina Pastirchák and mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston, alongside the Chœur Symphonique de Namur, bringing to life Mahler's vision of overcoming mortal limitations through the power of music. From the dark funeral march that opens the piece to the triumphant finale, audiences will be transported to the heights of post-Romantic music.

This event is part of a series of concerts that are not included in the regular subscription, offering a unique opportunity for both loyal patrons and new audiences to experience the grandeur of Mahler's work performed by a world-class orchestra and renowned soloists.
