The Hammer: Echoes of Gustav Mahler draws inspiration from the raw power and intensity of Mahler’s Symphony No. 6, weaving fragments of his iconic sound world into an original and electrifying percussion ensemble setting. Echoes of Mahler’s monumental themes collide with new material, creating a soundscape that is both familiar and fresh. The result is a dynamic journey that balances reverence for the source with bold, modern creativity. Through driving rhythms, visceral textures, and moments of dramatic impact, The Hammer delivers a concert experience that is as engaging as it is unforgettable.
