For the first time in the history of the North Netherlands Orchestra (NNO), Gustav Mahler’s Eighth Symphony will be heard in the Northern Netherlands. This masterpiece, also known as the ‘Symphony of the Thousands’, is only rarely performed due to the immense line-up.
On December 12 and 13, 2025, the audience will have a unique opportunity to experience this exceptional symphony live, but you could also enjoy it via a livestream at RTV Drenthe. If you missed this one, don’t worry. We will broadcast it again on television on December 26.
It is led by honorary conductor Antony Hermus and takes place with the cooperation of the North Netherlands Concert Choir, the Netherlands Concert Choir, the Roder Jongenskoor and eight internationally renowned soloists.
