Mahler #1 | Christ Church Camerata | Newcastle Music Festival Finale Concert

One of the most original voices in the history of orchestral music, Mahler's symphonies are landmarks of the genre. Ranging from the tenderest moments to passages of earth shattering drama, this symphony was his Mahler's first mark on the world of music, daring to build on the tradition of his great hero, Beethoven.

In the rich acoustic of Harold Lobb Concert Hall at Newcastle Conservatorium, nothing is lost of Mahler's epic scoring in this version for smaller orchestra, in which the Camerata expands to include wind, brass and percussion. The concert begins with a colourful work for strings by Adam Manning, Lecturer at the University of Newcastle, premiered by the Melbourne
Symphony Orchestra in 2024.
