The Mahler Sessions, starting 1/27

The composer Gustav Mahler famously declared that a symphony should be like the world: it must contain everything. But before a musical world can be heard, it must be performed — and interpreted. How do musicians approach the task of interpretation today, and how should we as listeners? 

The Tufts Music Department invites you to join them for The Mahler Sessions, an exciting spring series of student-led conversations with leading classical musicians of today and tomorrow, all of them appearing for the first time on Tufts campus. 

Sponsored by the Tufts Department of Music and the Office of the President.  

The First Session is on Tuesday, 1/27, at noon in the Distler Theater. The full list of Mahler Session events are available here.
