Conductor OLARI ELTS
The symphonies of Gustav Mahler are a unique barometer of a great artistic mind, reflecting every rise and fall in the individual and his artistic quest. “If one wishes to make music, one should not describe in writing or retell anything. But what one makes music from is still one and the same – a feeling, thinking, breathing, suffering human being.” (Gustav Mahler). Olari Elts, principal guest conductor of the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra and the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra will conduct Mahler’s Symphony No 6, subtitled Tragic.
Concert is produced by ERSO.
