Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Jaap van Zweden, conductor

Through night to light

It has been an incredible 40 years since the Chicago Symphony Orchestra last performed at ProArte. It is therefore high time to present this noble orchestra, which is one of the most traditional orchestras in the USA, to our audience in the Elbphilharmonie. As proven Mahler specialists, the musicians from Chicago make a substantial contribution to our seasonal focus: according to Jaap van Zweden, Mahler's Seventh Symphony lies "exactly on the border between dream and reality" and is therefore one of the most demanding works - for conductor and orchestra alike. The path leads through night to light to the jubilant finale of the symphony, which the busy court opera director Mahler once again put to paper in his summer retreat on Lake Wörthersee: "At the first stroke of the oar, the theme [...] of the introduction to the first movement came to my mind."
