Concertgebouworkest / Myung-Whun Chung

The Concertgebouworkest and Gustav Mahler have been closely connected since 1903, when the orchestra performed both the First and the Third Symphonies with the composer himself conducting. Many more concerts followed with Mahler on the rostrum, and the orchestra even set up a Mahler Festival. Over a century later, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra remains loyal to Mahler, performing the Ninth Symphony, his last completed work in the genre, in Hamburg under South Korean conductor Myung-Whun Chung.
