The new, original cycle “Mahler” ( #малер ) is initiated by the Zaryadye Hall. During the forthcoming concert season, all of the symphonies of this greatest symphonist will be performed. Each symphony will be performed by a certain orchestra, one of the best in the capitol or another Russia’s big city. It should be underlined that neither orchestra no conductor play twice during the cycle!

Each concert is introduced by the lecture that explains the piece itself, its cultural context, and the time it was created.

The SiberianState Symphony Orchestra dates back to 1977. Very quickly in it’s early history the orchestra, then led by eminent Soviet conductor Ivan Shpiller, has won the reputation of one of the best orchestras in former Soviet Union. SSSO has worked with conductors such as Leonard Slatkin, Dmitri Jurowski, Gintaras Rinkevicius, Vladislav Chernushenko among others, and performed regularly with the soloists Mikhail Pletnev, Vadim Repin, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Lazar Berman, Igor Oistrakh, Denis Matsuev, Rudolf Buchbinder, and Nikolai Lugansky, to name a few. In 2015 Vladimir Lande became orchestra’s new Artistic Director and Chief Conductor. Since then, KSSO has started successful new collaborations with international recording labels such as Naxos, Delos, and Parma Records and orchestra’s televised concerts became available for online streaming.
