Description
Only three times in the history of music has the classical world convened to celebrate the composer Gustav Mahler. An invitation to play at Mahler Fest is a big deal.
Last week, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra received a 10-minute standing ovation there for their rendition of Mahler’s Seventh.
