A production of Mahler’s magnificent Symphony No. 8 with Maestro Bramwell Tovey and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra is not just a live performance of an extraordinary work — it’s an event. Nicknamed Symphony of a Thousand because of the sheer number of performers required to stage it, the work is astonishing in its massive scale, brilliant instrumentation and sublime beauty. After all, it was inspired by the redemptive power of love.
