'NOW THEN MR MAHLER, ARE YOU HAVING A LAUGH?'

Sunday 11th July 2010, 6:30 pm (sic)
St John's Church, Waterloo Road
London SE1 8TY

The amazing combination of Mahler's powerful first symphony with the world's best classical music comedian, Rainer Hersch! The first half will be Rainer's inimitable and hilarious musical comedy (involving a full orchestra), then it's all change for the second half as we play the titanic first symphony by Gustav Mahler, ranging through almost every conceivable emotion. Don't miss this utterly unique evening!
