About the Concert

Gustav Mahler almost always composed based on his own mood. And so one would expect that he wrote his Sixth Symphony in not exactly cheerful spirits, as it is called the "Tragic". But precisely in the summer of 1903, he was feeling great! Perhaps one should keep this in mind when listening to the many march-like sections of the work and the cowbells, which remind one of a carefree hike in the mountains. However, the music does have tragic elements and with the hammer blows in the finale, we believe ourselves to be in a battle between the good and evil forces that determine our lives...
