Simon Rattle Conductor
Mahler Symphony No. 6
Program Notes
Internationally acclaimed conductor Simon Rattle marks the first year of his tenure with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra with a visit to the Kimmel Center to perform Mahler’s emotional, powerful Sixth Symphony. Revered for his interpretations of Mahler, Rattle is hailed for drawing “every drop of passion” (The New York Times) from the composer’s works, and for drawing “grandly impassioned music-making from his players.” Don’t miss this legendary conductor’s return to Philadelphia!
Please note: The Philadelphia Orchestra does not perform on this concert.
