Christ Church Camerata's Mahler #1
Location
Harold Lobb Hall, Newcastle Conservatorium
About
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 Christ Church Cathedral, 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.
