For the first time ever, the London Symphony Orchestra's (LSO) performance of Mahler's Symphony No.7 will be available on Digital Stage, streaming free on Friday, 16 June 2023.

The LSO made a triumphant return to Australia in 2023, with internationally revered conductor Sir Simon Rattle leading his final tour as Music Director of the LSO.

Among the world’s finest orchestras, the LSO commenced its highly anticipated Australian tour at QPAC. Originally performed and filmed at the QPAC, feel the power of 114 musicians at their ‘magnificent, virtuosic best’ as they perform Mahler’s Symphony No.7.

PROGRAM: MAHLER SYMPHONY NO.7

Mahler’s Seventh is the dark horse of his symphonies. This fascinating and rarely performed masterpiece will intrigue and delight. No wonder it has become a signature work for Sir Simon Rattle. The heart of this symphony is ‘music of the night’, with Mahler taking inspiration from Mozart serenades and lovers singing beneath windows, creating a nocturnal kaleidoscopic dreamworld. Mahler Seven, says Sir Simon, follows a ‘journey from night to an almost blinding dawn’. Spend the night with Mahler and the LSO and you too can take that sonic and emotional journey.
