Elias Grandy talks on Mahler! 【Version 2】Elias talks about "Resurrection"

Our new chief conductor, Elias Grandy reveals Mahler. Our second piece in "Mahler Project" is Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection." Elias himself introduces message that Mahler has implanted. All the human being must have had doubts, worries, suffering, happiness and joy of life・・・ What did Mahler want to convey through this work? One way to enjoy it is to think about it a little while listening to the performance. There are many different ways to approach music. The composer, the history surrounding it, the instruments, the color of sound, the conductor who reveals the secrets and orchestra players who recreate it. Digging a little deeper will make it even more fun. We look forward to seeing you in Kitara this weekend. ■Sapporo Symphony Orchestra 668th Subscription Concert Mahler Project No. 2■ Saturday, April 19, 2025 from 5pm and Sunday, April 20, 2025 from 1pm at Sapporo Concert Hall Kitara with Elias Grandy, Chief Conductor; Mari Eriksmoen, soprano; Catriona Morison, mezzosoprano, Sapporo Symphony Chorus, and New Academy Chorus Program: Mahler Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection" ★You can also watch Symphony No. 1 "Titan" from here: → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlCxhGXJZxg&t=279s
