So Where To Today?

Sydney

What: The Australian World Orchestra @ Sydney Opera House

When: Thursday September 4 20:00

The Australian World Orchestra returns in 2025 for Mahler 4 & 5, conducted by Alexander Briger — a gala night presenting two of Mahler’s greatest symphonies back-to-back in one epic concert.

Experience the radiant melodies and childlike wonder of Symphony No. 4, with its delicate orchestration and hints of unease, followed by the turbulence and majesty of Symphony No. 5, a journey from darkness to light crowned by the luminous serenity of the famous Adagietto.

Performed by 94 of Australia’s finest musicians — including 53 returning from leading international orchestras — this concert is a testament to the ensemble brilliance of the AWO under Briger’s masterful direction.

A breathtaking journey from innocence to experience, memoir to love letter, this one-night-only Mahlerfest is a 2025 calendar highlight not to be missed.
