Peace Philharmonic Orchestra – Mahler, Symphony No. 5

Booking Required

Conductor Nikolay Khozyainov leads the Peace Philharmonic Orchestra in Gustav Mahler’s monumental Symphony No. 5, a journey from funeral march to luminous finale. The programme juxtaposes dramatic brass and timpani with the intimate Adagietto, allowing Khozyainov’s expressive direction to shape dynamics and pacing. Rooted in the orchestra’s Geneva-based mission of artistic collaboration and peace, the performance emphasizes communal resonance, contrasting storms and serenity to create a sweeping, emotionally charged soundworld that gradually illuminates hope and renewal.

Created and performed by Diederik Peeters, Confabulations blurs the boundary between reality and illusion. Playing a psychiatrist, Peeters uses archival material, historical narratives and personal testimonies to probe memory, perception and confabulation. The staging mixes shifting visual worlds, forensic references and moments of hallucination to produce an unsettling, lyrical investigation of psychiatry, neurology and neurodivergent experience. Second instalment of a trilogy following Apparitions (2018), the piece invites a vertiginous reflection on truth and remembrance.
