NEC faculty have always enjoyed playing chamber music together, but it was cellist Laurence Lesser—then Conservatory President— who transformed these occasional musical evenings into a stellar, regularly occurring series.

This year, the thematic thread woven throughout the programs is 'Brahms and Birthdays.' Tonight, as part of Mahler Unleashed, NEC faculty perform selections from Mahler's settings of poems from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, seminally important source of inspiration for the first four symphonies and numerous vocal works.

He's more than a bunch of symphonies and songs. Even those are not what you think. And although the music stopped with his death in 1911—100 years later, his time is now.

During four months of concerts, jam sessions, conversation, and film, free your mind about what Mahler really means.
