Richard Tognetti: Mahler’s Heavenly Life
Events St Kilda, Port Phillip, Victoria
27 Jun 2026 Once Only Event
Throughout 2026, Australian National Academy of Music musicians explore some of the most monumental works in the orchestral repertoire, including Mahler’s Fourth Symphony – one of the orchestral canon’s most radiant achievements.
Often interpreted as a journey from life to death, its final movement offers a childlike vision of Das himmlische Leben (The Heavenly Life). Mahler’s luminous score will be paired with Haydn’s Farewell Symphony, in which each musician leaves the stage one by one in the final movement.
This concert invites audiences to experience Richard Tognetti (Artistic Director, Australian Chamber Orchestra) leading Australian National Academy of Music musicians in two masterworks that reflect on endings, renewal and the enduring vitality of orchestral music — live at St Kilda Town Hall.
Duration of the performance is approximately two hours and ten minutes (including a 20-minute interval).
