The Music Festival, a regular host for the world's most renowned orchestras, is delighted that the Chicago Symphony Orchestra - one of the most traditional and prestigious orchestras in the USA - will be returning to Dresden in 2025 on its European tour. Under the direction of Dutch star conductor Jaap van Zweden, the American musicians will fill Dresden's Kulturpalast with the visionary music of Gustav Mahler. In an almost unique way, this composer was able to constantly push the boundaries of orchestral sound and take it to previously unknown dimensions. His Seventh Symphony, premiered in Prague in 1908, which, according to van Zweden, "straddles the border between dream and reality", is one of the most challenging works in the orchestral literature. Although Mahler gave his work the attributes "cheerful" and "humorous", the movements entitled "Nachtmusik" (Night Music) also contain contrasting clouding that lends the music its existential character.
