麻豆社

Antony Hermus conducts the 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra in a concert shaped by questions of mortality, memory and transcendence.

The programme begins with Willem Jeths's Mors Aeterna, a work whose title translates as 'eternal death'. Rich in atmosphere and reflection, it serves as a compelling introduction to the concert's central themes.

At the heart of the programme is Gustav Mahler's Symphony No 10 in F sharp minor. Left unfinished at the composer's death in 1911, the symphony survives as a remarkable testament to Mahler's final creative vision. By turns intimate, turbulent and visionary, the symphony charts an extraordinary emotional journey, from the searching opening Adagio to a hard-won and luminous conclusion. Performed by the 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Antony Hermus, this concert brings together two works that contemplate endings while reaching towards something beyond them.

Presented by Kate Molleson, live from Glasgow's City Halls.
