Symphony of a Thousand, Gustav Mahler's Eighth Symphony. A symphony that is all-embracing, a symphony in which from so many throats gushes the longing for the reconciliation of the world, for redemption through love. That is why we have invited reinforcements from different parts of Europe to the extended stage of the Smetana Hall, so that the jubilee season can begin on a truly sublime note... Spirit of the Creator, come!
