Prepare yourself for a bold, breathtaking journey through our natural world in Gustav Mahler's Third Symphony. A work of immense scope in which the composer realizes his goal to "embrace everything" in his music, Mahler's symphony stands as an expansive hymn to the primal life force that animates every flower in the meadow, animal in the forest, and the divine love that unites nature and humankind.

Alexander Shelley returns to Southam Hall to lead orchestral and vocal forces in one of history's most monumental symphonies. Hear the slow blossoming of spring with cinematic orchestral colours, be moved as mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston and choirs of women's and children's voices evoke songs exploring humankind's longing for peace and eternity, and marvel as Mahler's musical odyssey reaches a climax of radiant joy.
