Mahler’s Finale
The Moving Conclusion of Our 20th Season
Gustav Mahler composed his Ninth Symphony during a somber period toward the end of his life. Just a few years earlier, he had tragically lost his four-year-old daughter to scarlet fever, and he was soon after diagnosed with the heart condition that would ultimately claim his life. Mahler was also acutely aware that the great symphonic composers before him—Beethoven, Schubert, and Bruckner—had not lived to complete more than nine symphonies. Although he began work on a Tenth Symphony, the Ninth became the last he finished, and is often regarded as Mahler’s farewell symphony. Join Thailand Phil, under the leadership of Maestro St.Clair, for this poignant finale to our 20th season.
