Every year the "next" Mahler symphony is prepared and performed by the
Surrey Mahler project (part of Surrey musical education projects) --
www.surrey-mahler.org .  This year it is Mahler 3.

Unlike the latest Berlin recording, the oboe will NOT be glissandoing
everything where it is marked as "Naturlaut".  (Nor will he be making
other rude noises, a least, not on purpose!)

For those list members who live in the UK, this represents an alternative
to Eliahu Inbau and the Concertgebouw Proms performance next Wednesday.
(Also, a rather lower cost!!  - GBP 6.00 instead of GBP 40.00 at the
Proms).

The performance is on Sunday 8 September at 15:00 (3pm) at the Fairfield
Halls Croydon.  What may be lost in technical perfection is made up in
youthful exuberance ...

And for those list members who are also players/singers, the Surrey-Mahler
experience could be a real challenge.  There are still some choir and
string places available; but why not join us next year for Mahler 4?

We look forward to seeing you either in the audience this year or
audience/orchestra next year!
