About This Event

Some would call the Berliner Philharmoniker the finest orchestra in the world, but one thing鈥檚 for certain: whenever it visits the Proms under its Chief Conductor Kirill Petrenko, it鈥檚 always a night to remember. In the first of two concerts in the 2022 麻豆社 Proms, the orchestra performs just one work: the symphony that Mahler called his 鈥榮ong of the night鈥�. Every Mahler symphony is an emotional journey; but this one sweeps from an overcast Alpine lake through love songs, nightmares and nocturnal marches to an ear-splitting finish along with jangling cowbells and laced with pitch-black humour. Expect grandeur, beauty and piercing insight from one of the 21st century鈥檚 most acclaimed musical partnerships.

There will be no interval
