Mahler: Symphony No. 4, Songs on the Death of Children

In a unique concert at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, Teodor Currentzis will lead Utopia in Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, the Austrian composer’s most celebrated work. Swiss soprano Regula Mühlemann, one of the finest talents of her generation, will perform the fourth movement’s song.

The second part of the evening will feature mezzo-soprano Eve-Maud Hubeaux performing the heart-wrenching song cycle Songs on the Death of Children (Kindertotenlieder), which Mahler composed between 1901 and 1904 in the form of an orchestral lieder based on five poems by Friedrich Rückert.
