Join us to celebrate the beginning of our 2023/24 Concert Season at Glasgow City Halls!

It begins like a fairy tale. A jangle of sleighbells, a flurry of birdsong from the flutes 鈥� and is that a melody by Mozart? Not quite: Mahler said that he imagined pure blue skies when he composed his Fourth Symphony. But the Fourth has depths as poignant and profound as anything he ever wrote, and with soprano Sally Matthews joining our Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth, it鈥檒l make a blissful ending to this concert.

Before this, there鈥檚 the soaring Heroic Overture by Mahler鈥檚 Viennese contemporary Johanna M眉ller-Hermann and the great Scottish pianist, Steven Osborne, performs Ryan Wigglesworth鈥檚 own, brilliantly imaginative Piano Concerto. A performance doesn鈥檛 get more definitive than this.

This concerts ends at approximately 9:20pm.
