Our festival is about Mahler and his music. That includes performing new music, as Mahler did regularly. Though, we must admit, this one was more just for fun since we had Jesse and Craig in town for the festival anyway.

Thanks for sharing. This is from a late night show after a traditional chamber music concert. When you have musicians like this in your orchestra, you find a way to use their talents!

Listen to Mahler’s “Adagietto” used in Death in Venice as performed at MahlerFest 34. It's the piece that inspired the producer to ask if Mahler was available to work with him!

Mahler's music has been in well over 100 films. There’s a story about a producer who asked if Mahler could write more movie scores…60 years after his death!
