Mahler Symphony No. 2

Show & Culture

With the Eighth Symphony 'of the Thousands', the Second is Mahler's most ambitious symphony and the first to use human voice. The National Orchestra of Mulhouse and its musical director, Christoph Koncz, unite their forces with the National Orchestra of Metz Grand Est to embrace this immense depiction of life, death, and resurrection. From initial affliction, Mahler leads us towards a radiant light, not without struggles, not without regrets, along a path paved with both joyful and painful memories. The Second is a colossal adventure, one of those works that leaves no listener unaffected.
