Explore the Program
Gustav Mahler once wrote, “A symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything.” His First Symphony lives out that vision, unfolding from hushed, earthbound beginnings into a blazing affirmation of life. Jonathon Heyward shapes the journey, framed by a BSO premiere by Jonathan Leshnoff and featuring Gil Shaham, one of the foremost violinists of our time.
Listen Closer
- Gil Shaham makes his debut performance of the Leshnoff concerto, continuing a career-long commitment to new music.
- Gustav Mahler originally titled his First Symphony "Titan," framing a journey from youthful innocence through adversity; its opening draws on Songs of a Wayfarer and evocations of the natural world.
