Mahler's Fifth Symphony, composed during the summers of 1901 and 1902, is a profound work that traverses an emotional landscape from despair to triumph across its five movements. This period of Mahler's life was marked by significant personal milestones, including his marriage to Alma and his recovery from a near-death experience.

Attendees will have the unique chance to pull up a beanbag next to the musicians and be swept away by Mahler’s narrative, culminating in the Adagietto, a poignant declaration of love. This symphony, which has recently gained renewed attention through the Oscar-nominated film "Tár," is best experienced up close.

Due to popular demand, The Hallé will perform the complete symphony the following day.
