Mahler: Symphony no. 2 'Resurrection'
Saturday 13 June 2026
7.30pm
Clifton Cathedral
Tickets: £22

From the shadow of a haunting funeral march to a blazing, celestial finale — Mahler's Resurrection Symphony is one of the great journeys in all of music. Vast in scale, fierce in ambition, and brimming with human hope, it is a work that demands to be heard live.
For this festival finale, the Bristol Symphony Orchestra is joined by two exceptional soloists: soprano Ana Beard Fernandez and the multi-award-winning mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston, whose "extraordinary expressive range" (The Guardian) brings singular depth to Mahler's hauntingly beautiful Urlicht. In the resonant surroundings of Clifton Cathedral, this promises to be an evening to remember.
