Our festival is about Mahler and his music. That includes performing new music, as Mahler did regularly. Though, we must admit, this one was more just for fun since we had Jesse and Craig in town for the festival anyway.

Thanks for sharing. This is from a late night show after a traditional chamber music concert. When you have musicians like this in your orchestra, you find a way to use their talents!

"Songs of Protest & Defiance," a recital by the amazing vocalists assembled for our performance of Ullmann's "Der Kaiser von Atlantis." These wonderful performers, with pianist Jennifer Hayghe, put on a incredibly powerful performance at the Canyon Theater at the Boulder Public Library.

Listen to Mahler’s “Adagietto” used in Death in Venice as performed at MahlerFest 34. It's the piece that inspired the producer to ask if Mahler was available to work with him!

In 2022, the MahlerFest Chamber Orchestra premiered “Mahler, a Final Frontier: Fantasy on Themes of Mahler and Courage” by George Morton which combines bits from all of Mahler’s symphonies with the music of Star Trek, all in under five minutes.
