Version for chamber orchestra prepared by Rob Farmer
In May 2025 we invite you to join us as we continue our 12-year exploration of Mahler’s music, this time with the Third Symphony. Mahler famously said that a symphony “must be like the world, it must embrace everything” and in this gigantic work he fulfills that pronouncement perhaps more than in any other. This will be its first performance in the Highlands, in the new version for chamber orchestra by Rob Farmer. For “O Mensch! Gib Acht!” and “Es sungen drei Engel” we will be joined by mezzo-soprano Laura Margaret Smith.
