Mahler symphony is a first for town and for orchestra
Published in 1897 after several years of work by the composer, it was voted by Music magazine the fifth best symphony of all time.
St Cecilia Orchestra will be at full force, under the baton of founder and conductor Xenophon Kelsey. Soloists will be Caitlin Hulcup, mezzo soprano, and Fflur Wyn, soprano in what promises to be a memorable evening.
