York Guildhall Orchestra

The York Guildhall Orchestra concludes its 33rd season with its final visit to the symphonies of Gustav Mahler.

We shall perform his last symphony as he left it - an incomplete work with just one movement. This has been an epic journey over a number of years and the orchestra has grown in maturity during the process.

Of the ninth symphony (May 2012), the orchestra's conductor Simon Wright said that it was some of the finest ocrhestral playing he had ever conducted - and some of the best string sound the players had ever produced. Praise indeed of what is basically an amateur group.

The concert will start with a real concert favourite - the overture to Wagner's Meistersinger.
The concert will end with...well, that will be up to you, the audience! Simon wishes to allow the audience to vote on which symphony from the romantic era they would like the band to play.

Further information will be on the orchestra's website in due course. It will be an interesting and curious experience seeing which work filters to the top of the list!

Wagner - Overture Die Meistersinger

Mahler - Symphony 10 (1st movement only)

Mystery Symphony - the audience's choice!
