Mahler's Tenth Symphony: Completing the Unfinished

Gustav Mahler died in 1911 leaving sketches and fragments of a final masterpiece. Five decades later, following the approval of Mahler's widow Alma, the British Mahler expert Deryck Cooke completed the symphony. The result is hauntingly beautiful and profoundly moving. Ahead of the ASO and Chief Conductor Mark Wigglesworth's performances of Mahler 10, this talk guides you through the music and its genesis.

Accessibility: Madley Rehearsal Studio is located at the Adelaide University city campus, opposite the Schulz Building. There are two main entrances to this building; one labelled 'Madley Studios' on the ground floor (accessed via Pfitzner Court), and one on the West side of the building labelled 'Madley Jazz Studio' (accessed via Gate 14 off Kintore Avenue). 15-minute accessible parking and loading zones can be accessed nearby through Gates 13 and 14.
