The Mahler special edition is available at the box office and at the CD table in the concert foyer on the evening of the concert for CHF 5.
Two years ago, Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson delighted not only the Zurich audience with John Adams' piano concerto with the beautiful title "Must the Devil Have All the Good Tunes?", but also the composer himself. Adams has now written a new piano concerto for our focus artist, which will be performed for the first time in Switzerland in this programme. Paavo Järvi continues his Mahler cycle in the second half of the programme: After the Fifth and Seventh, it is now the turn of the First Symphony. A favourite work for horn fans, klezmer lovers and anyone who likes to hear the children's song "Bruder Jakob" in a minor key.
