Mahlers 7. Sinfonie - JPON

In the organizer's words:

The Young Philharmonic Orchestra of Lower Saxony will be performing Gustav Mahler's 7th Symphony in the NDR's Great Broadcasting Hall. Of all his symphonies, the 7th Symphony is the least frequently performed individually, so this is certainly an event not to be missed.

The work, combined between 1904 and 1905, comprises five movements and is often referred to as a "song of the night". It begins with a sombre first movement and includes two lyrical 'night musics', an eerie scherzo and a festive finale. With its diverse orchestration and complex structure, the 7th Symphony impressively explores the boundaries of late Romantic music. The premiere took place in Prague in 1908 under the direction of the composer.

The Young Philharmonic Orchestra of Lower Saxony is a young orchestra with musicians from different backgrounds. It thrives on its diversity, in which aspiring professionals and music-loving amateurs from Lower Saxony, the whole of Germany and beyond pursue the common goal of bringing great symphonic works to the stage. Founded in 1989, the orchestra has always been organized on an honorary basis and thrives on the voluntary commitment of its members.
