MSO Season Opening Gala: Mahler's Resurrection Symphony

Season 2025 opens with one of the greatest symphonies ever written: Mahler’s monumental Symphony No.2.

When he started writing in 1888, the then-28-year-old Mahler faced a series of intense existential questions. “Why have you lived? Why have you suffered? Is it all some huge, awful joke? We have to answer these questions somehow if we are to go on living – indeed, even if we are only to go on dying!”

Believing in the symphony’s potential to embody an entire world, Mahler explored these questions in a thrilling work featuring a vast orchestra alongside chorus and soloists.

The Resurrection Symphony is a breathtaking hymn to redemption, the afterlife and the resilience of the human spirit. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear Mahler’s masterpiece under the charismatic direction of MSO’s Chief Conductor Jaime Martín.
