Los Angeles classical music lovers! Get ready for an amazing 2011-2012 season at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The Los Angeles Philharmonic is hosting a spectacular line up of concerts and world class performers, promising to be the hottest and most memorable in recent years.
This season, you don’t want to miss a once in a life time event, planned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Beginning in January 2012, the Walt Disney Concert Hall’s perfect acoustics will resound with “The Mahler Project: A Symphonic Cycle for the New World.” Recognized as one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, Gustav Mahler’s passionate and haunting music captivates the heart, requiring the full expressive powers of a world class orchestra, conductor, vocalists and chorale ensembles.
For this ambitious undertaking, Maestro Gustavo Dudamel’s extraordinary talents will shine, as he leads all of Mahler’s eight symphonies with two orchestras, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela.
The Project opens on January 13 - 15, with Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, and his poignant “Songs of a Wayfarer” featuring international opera star, Thomas Hampson, baritone. Dudamel conducts Mahler through January and will conclude on February 4th, 2012 with a Gala performance of Mahler’s “Symphony of a Thousand Voices,” along with The Los Angeles Master Chorale, and other choirs.
The entire project will be repeated immediately afterward in Caracas, Venezuela, concluding this international collaboration honoring the 100th anniversary of the composer’s death.
