Conductor Esa-Pekka Mäkelä leads the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Mahler's monumental Ninth Symphony, a work of profound introspection and emotional depth. This two-hour performance captures Mahler's farewell to the symphonic form—a meditation on mortality and acceptance that builds from intimate chamber passages to overwhelming orchestral climaxes. Mäkelä's interpretive clarity and the CSO's virtuosity bring fresh perspective to this 20th-century masterpiece. A rare opportunity to experience one of music's most challenging and rewarding works in an ideal concert setting.
