Maestro 1: Umberto’s Mahler 5

From darkness to blazing triumph, this is music at its most human.

Haunted by a near-death experience, Mahler infused Symphony No.5 with his deepest hopes and contemplations. Beginning with a stark funeral march, the symphony moves through sorrow and calm before bursting into joyous, radiant life. A work of striking honesty, it seems to capture Mahler’s soul itself. Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici leads Queensland Symphony Orchestra in this monumental work.

Violinist Sergej Krylov will illuminate one of the most beloved concertos in the repertoire: Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E Minor. Bold for its time, Mendelssohn broke with tradition, weaving soloist and orchestra into a seamless, lyrical dialogue that remains a favourite of audiences and performers alike.

Witness the breathtaking depth and passion of two unforgettable masterworks.
