Vienna Philharmonic
The revered Vienna Philharmonic performs its third and final Mahler symphony of the week at Carnegie Hall. This matinee performance of Mahler’s iconic “Resurrection” Symphony is part of a complete Mahler symphony cycle by visionary conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin, whose sole prior performance of the work at Carnegie Hall was called “amazement befitting a miracle … as special an event as every ‘Resurrection’ ought to be” (The New York Times). Joined by the Westminster Symphonic Choir and soloists Christiane Karg and Elīna Garanča, he brings one of music’s most glorious creations back to the stage where Mahler conducted its US premiere.
