Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) wrote the Sixth Symphony in 1903-1904 while leading the Vienna Opera and at the height of his career as a conductor. While Europe was undergoing significant political and social upheavals and the tensions that later led to World War I, Mahler's personal life was riddled with anxiety, strained relationships and health problems. However, at the same time, the composer experienced a very active creative period. At that time, Vienna, where G. Mahler lived and worked, was a thriving cultural center where artists' movements and intellectual debates existed. For the sixth symphony, G. Mahler drew inspiration from philosophical and literary sources - the composer was greatly influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche, especially his concept of "eternal recurrence", the idea of meeting life's challenges with courage and perseverance, and the Austrian poet Heinrich Leopold Wagner, whose themes of fate and human suffering are used It resonated deeply with G. Mahler. The title of the sixth symphony - "Tragic" - reflects G. Mahler's interest in the tragic worldview prevailing in the literature and drama of that time.

At that time, the musical landscape was shifting towards modernism, composers were experimenting with new languages and forms of harmony. However, G. Mahler's avant-garde compositions were evaluated controversially. In the sixth symphony, the thread of G. Mahler's repeated musical motive - the so-called "Alma theme" - stretches. This catchy melody, heard already at the beginning of the piece, goes through various transformations in the symphony, thus reflecting the multifaceted nature of Mahler's feelings for his wife and the stormy nature of their relationship - their marriage suffered from jealousy, infidelity and competition, was accompanied by huge emotional ups and downs, passionate love and intense conflicts. The entire Sixth Symphony is like a deep meditation on the human experience, changing from absolute ecstasy to utter despair. In the dramatic finale, G. Mahler's hammer delivers the "blows of fate", which became a prophetic sign of tragedies in the composer's life. a href="mailto:vipklientai@bilietai.lt">vipklientai@bilietai.lt Doors open: 18:00
