2024/25 Walt Disney Concert Hall
Mahler Grooves Festival
In the 1970s, a society of LA-based Mahler lovers created bumper stickers that became countercultural symbols for the then-cult status of Gustav Mahler among symphonic fans. With an eye to that Angeleno history, Gustavo Dudamel leads an exploration of Mahler’s monumental music and his inner world.
The Mahler Grooves Festival is generously supported by the Frank Gehry Fund for Creativity.
