Teddy Conducts Mahler’s Ninth

Teddy Abrams, conductor

Mahler, Symphony No. 9

Mahler’s Symphony No. 9 is a masterpiece of profound depth and emotional intensity—his final completed symphony and a poignant reflection on life, love, and mortality. With sweeping lyricism and moments of breathtaking fragility, this colossal work carries the listener through yearning melodies, stormy turmoil, and an unforgettable farewell.

Leonard Bernstein breathed new life into the monumental works of Mahler and delivered them to the masses. That legacy continues through Bernstein’s protégé Michael Tilson Thomas, and now through his own mentee, Teddy Abrams, who takes the podium for this unforgettable performance.

With its surging intensity and transcendent catharsis Mahler’s Ninth remains one of the most profound statements in orchestral music.
