Northwest Mahler Festival is unique in combining the talents of the finest community, student, and professional musicians from the greater Puget Sound region. During our 14 year history, we have performed all nine of Mahler's finished symphonies and a number of other works for large orchestra. We have also held spirited reading sessions of dozens of large orchestral works with many of the area's best conductors.
