Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra / Klaus Mäkelä – Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg

About this event

This is an unstaged orchestral concert centered on Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 7 in E minor. The primary listing credits the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Klaus Mäkelä as conductor; the official orchestra page identifies the program as a tour led by Mäkelä and credits him as chief conductor designate. The event description places the concert in the context of Mäkelä's developing relationship with the orchestra. He was announced as Principal Conductor, with his official start in autumn 2027, following his work as Artistic Partner with the Dutch musicians. The artistic focus is the collaboration between conductor and orchestra in Mahler's Seventh Symphony, rather than a staged theatrical concept. No director, stage designer, costume designer, lighting designer, choreographer, chorus, or instrumental soloist is listed. The concert is presented as a single uninterrupted symphonic performance in the Elbphilharmonie Großer Saal.
