The Mahler Project: 9 Symphonies, 2 Orchestras, 1 Conductor

This month, Gustavo Dudamel, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Simón Bolivár Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela come together for a landmark celebration of the master symphonic composer Gustav Mahler. The music of Mahler has been a touchstone of Gustavo's musical life: as a teenager, Gustavo's first program as conductor of the Simón Bolivár Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela was Mahler's First Symphony. When he took the helm as Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic in October 2009, he also chose Mahler's First Symphony.
Beginning January 13, the LA Phil and the Bolivárs will perform all nine of Mahler's symphonies as well as selected orchestral songs. The two orchestras will share both of their respective homes, giving performances in Los Angeles and Caracas. Their musical partnership reaches new heights in two performances of Mahler's Eighth Symphony, the "Symphony of a Thousand," for which they will join forces with 16 choral ensembles and an international roster of soloists. The first performance of Mahler's epic orchestral work will take place at Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles on Saturday, February 4. The second will be at Teresa Carreño in Caracas, Venezuela on February 18, broadcast in a LA Phil LIVE transmission across the United States and Canada.
