Conductor NIKOLAI ALXEEV

In 2010 the musical world celebrates Gustav Mahler’s 150^th birthday, with the 100^th anniversary of his death in the following year.

Principal conductor of ERSO Nikolai Alexeev presents the listeners with Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No 6, which ERSO has earlier performed only twice. Because of its gloomy and pessimist mood, the symphony has been called Tragic. The symphony depicts a person’s struggle with hardships of life that lead to a tragic end. In Mahler’s wife Alma’s words, “The Sixth is the most profoundly personal of his works. /-/ Not one of them came so directly from his inmost heart as this.”

Tickets: 180.- 120.- (70.-)
The concert is produced by ERSO
