About The Event
The Symphony No. 8 in E-flat major by Gustav Mahler is one of the largest-scale choral works in the classical concert repertoire. As it requires huge instrumental and vocal forces it is frequently called the "Symphony of a Thousand", although the work is normally presented with far fewer than a thousand performers and Mahler greatly disapproved of the name. For this performance in Coventry's wonderful Cathedral Spires Chorus, along with other local choirs, is singing with the Leamington Sinfonia.
