What’s On at MF XXXII

MahlerFest XXXII sees us starting our fourth cycle of Mahler symphonies with a performance of his First Symphony in its final New York 1910 version under the baton of Kenneth Woods.

Throughout the festival, we’ll be exploring breakthrough works of youthful genius, Mahler the arranger and Mahler arranged, and the link between Beethoven and Mahler.

Join us for MahlerFest XXXII!
