One of the things that makes MahlerFest so special is the community we build when Mahlerites come together. Many of our long-time audience members mention this when talking about why they come back to MahlerFest year after year. We have put together a robust schedule of events to help make this possible
Dinners are informal gatherings to which all audience members, guests, musicians, and board members are invited. We arrange for space at the restaurants, you show up and pay your own way. No reservations required. We have scheduled all of these at restaurants with outdoor seating.
All Mahler rehearsals during the festival are also open to the public. They are included in the listing below but for more information please visit https://mahlerfest.org/mf34/open-rehearsals/.
