Mahler Symphony No 2 "Resurrection"

St George's Singers first concert of the 2018-19 season is a new collaboration with Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra. Founded in 1891, the orchestra is recognised as one of the top five amateur orchestras in the country, with a reputation for bold and adventurous programming. They have invited the renowned St George’s Singers to join them in Mahler’s Symphony No 2, known as ‘The Resurrection’ at the beautiful Gorton Monastery.  First performed in 1895, the symphony was regarded during Mahler’s lifetime as one of his most popular and successful works, and its power has not waned since, being voted the fifth greatest symphony of all time in a survey of conductors by BBC Music Magazine.  The orchestra and choir will be joined by soprano Bibi Heal, and mezzo Olivia Ray.
