Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 “Tragic” was largely composed during the summers of 1903 and 1904, in the intervals between his duties as director of the Vienna Court Opera, a position he had held since 1897. The work premiered on May 27, 1906, in Essen, with the score already revised, under the composer’s own direction. Symphony No. 6 was written at a significant moment in his life, following his marriage to Alma Schindler in 1902 and the birth of his two daughters, Maria Anna and Anna, in 1902 and 1904, respectively.
In this symphonic work, we hear grand, almost sublime Romantic gestures, as well as sharply defined moments of an almost martial character. The final movement, however, offers the listener a sequence of dark and harrowing emotions, where the world seems to collapse upon a man in profound despair and agony: Mahler uses the orchestra in all its monumentality, shaping a wide range of textures and shifting emotional intensities—at times with fragmented musical ideas.

Pre-concert talk by Alexandre Delgado at 4:30 pm.
