An unprecedented convergence between the music of Mahler and the premiere of a work for voices and orchestra sung in Indigenous languages will make for a memorable season finale! Faced with the fragility of human existence, the perpetual renewal of nature has nurtured the dream of immortality in humans. This theme, depicted by Mahler in Das Lied von der Erde, will be echoed by a work composed and written by Indigenous, non-Indigenous, and Métis artists paying homage to life and to the Earth. An extraordinary concert that will bring a promising 2024-2025 season to a close!
