About this Event
As both composer and conductor, Gustav Mahler was one of the most pivotal figures of late-nineteenth-century European music. But the final years of his life were largely spent in New York City. Here, among the bustle of Manhattan’s Upper West Side and 59th Street, he worked on his last symphonies, transformed New York’s musical life through his leadership of both the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera, and confronted the greatest emotional crisis of his life. Mahler in New York is a new documentary by Hilan Warshaw that recreates these momentous last years in the life of an émigré genius, through archival sources, interviews, musical performances, and modern-day location footage. The film screening will be followed by a Q & A with Hilan Warshaw.
