Symphonisches Feuerwerk
Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8, known as the "Symphony of a Thousand," will be performed by the Bremer Philharmoniker for the first time at the season finale. Premiering in 1910 with over 1000 performers, this massive work set new standards. This performance celebrates the Philharmonic Society Bremen and Bremer Philharmoniker's 200th anniversary. It's a symphonic apotheosis, a modern hymn to joy, and a secular mass, characterized by E-flat major and a dense yet transparent structure.
