There was a palpable sense of connection between stage and hall Saturday night
​-- and you can't overestimate the value of that.”   
- Tim Smith, Baltimore Sun Nov. 9, 2010
​



​Weaving excerpts of Gustav Mahler's symphonies with live theatre, psychoanalysis
​and visual art
​
Analyze This:
Mahler and Freud

explores Mahler's creative genius and relentless striving to express "the entire world in a symphony." 


​
Vienna’s most creative
minds discuss and dissect:

Infidelity. Love. Loss.

Childhood.
Composing. Conducting.
​

Demons. Demigods. Dreams.
