Sir Simon Rattle

Mahler Chamber Orchestra

Join us for an unforgettable evening with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra as we present "Time for Rattle" on the 16th of May, 2024, at the prestigious Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. This remarkable concert, scheduled to begin at 20:00, marks a significant moment as Sir Simon Rattle makes his much-anticipated MCO debut, 25 years after the orchestra was first conducted by its Founding Mentor Claudio Abbado.

Under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle, one of the most acclaimed conductors of our time, the orchestra will perform a captivating programme featuring Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's final three symphonies: Symphony No. 39 in E-flat major, K. 543; Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550; and Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551, known as the "Jupiter." These masterpieces represent the pinnacle of Mozart's symphonic work, offering a journey from the majestic opening of No. 39, through the dramatic depths of the G minor, and culminating in the sublime grandeur of the Jupiter.

This concert is not just a performance but a celebration of resilience and artistic excellence. Originally planned for 2020, the event was postponed due to the global pandemic, making this gathering even more special. Sir Simon Rattle's interpretation of Mozart promises to bring a fresh, agile, and poised approach to these beloved symphonies, drawing the audience closer to the music with every note.

Presented by the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, "Time for Rattle" is a must-attend event for classical music enthusiasts and those looking to experience the magic of Mozart under the guidance of a modern maestro. Don't miss this opportunity to witness a historic debut and an evening of exquisite music that celebrates the enduring spirit of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and its remarkable journey with Sir Simon Rattle at the helm.
