Christmas with Mahler's Symphony No. 3

A monumental journey from primal power to stillness. Mahler’s Third Symphony It is one of those rare works that you don’t just listen to, but truly experience. In the days leading up to Christmas, this music takes on an extra layer of meaning: a search for meaning, comfort, and connection. Jun Märkl continues his Mahler journey with this monumental work for large orchestra, featuring mezzo-soprano Sophie Harmsen—internationally acclaimed for her warm and direct expression—and two choirs. This is not just another piece to check off the repertoire list, but a form of world-building that you can only fully experience in the concert hall—one that makes your own world a little bigger for a moment.
