GUSTAV MAHLER – Symphony No. 6 “Tragic”

Buy Tickets

With this program, K²O devotes an entire evening to one of the most gripping symphonies ever written.

Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 is a vast, deeply human journey — music of towering beauty, fierce struggle, and moments of almost unbearable tenderness. From its propulsive opening to the shattering final movement, the work confronts fate with unflinching honesty, revealing both the fragility and the resilience of the human spirit. In the intimacy of Sanders Theatre, every detail and every surge of sound will be felt with uncommon intensity.
