Conductor Gustavo Dudamel describes Mahler’s Seventh Symphony as “a symphony of everything: from chaos to glory, sarcasm to tenderness, from a funeral march to a seductive tango. It is a cosmic symphony of perfect construction and galactic emotional scope.” Dudamel hasn’t conducted this piece here before, so take advantage, as our time with the maestro here in L.A. is waning. Before the concert, classical experts answer your questions and guide you through the event at a free conversation in the BP Hall — well worth getting downtown early to see!
There's also a free pre-concert talk at 7 p.m.
