United by Mahler - Open air concert celebrating the Year of Czech Music 2024

This concert aims to recreate the 1908 premiere of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 7. Although few structures from the Jubilee Exhibition remain today, the power of the music still lingers. It was here on the site of the Prague exhibition grounds that the successful premiere took place, performed under the baton of the composer himself by the combined orchestras of the Czech Philharmonic and the New German Theatre Orchestra of Prague. Following the post-war expulsion from Czechoslovakia, it was its former members who established the foundations of what is now known as the Bamberger Symphoniker in Bavaria.
