The Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck has been at the helm of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra since 2008 and will devote himself to the 1st or 5th Symphony of his compatriot Gustav Mahler after the interval.
In Cologne, Wiesbaden and Vienna, the concert will also open with the brilliant short fanfare ‘Short Ride in a Fast Machine’ by John Adams, which was premiered by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 1986.
