About this Performance
Gustavo Dudamel describes Mahler’s Seventh as “a symphony of everything: from chaos to glory, sarcasm to tenderness, from a funeral march to a seductive tango. It is a cosmic symphony of perfect construction and galactic emotional scope.” At the core of this monumental and expansive opus are two movements built on the tradition of Nachtmusik or “Night Music” whose moodiness and introspection have earned the symphony the nickname “Song of the Night.” For the first time ever, Dudamel leads the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the colossal journey of Mahler’s Seventh.
The Mahler Grooves Festival is generously supported by the Frank Gehry Fund for Creativity.
