On October 8, 2026, at Glasgow's City Halls, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra will present a compelling concert under the baton of conductor Willem Jeths. The programme includes Mahler’s Tenth Symphony, performed in an edited version by Deryck Cooke, and two concise works: Mors Aeterna by Willem Jeths.

This event promises to be a significant musical experience, drawing audiences into the rich and complex world of Mahler’s late symphonic vision.
Current Subscriber Priority Booking from Thursday 16 April, 10am General Subscription Booking only : Tuesday 21 April 2026, 10am General Booking, including for all non-Thursday Night events : Thursday 14 May 2026, 10am MAHLER’S TENTH SYMPHONY THURSDAY 08.10.2026 7.30PM Willem Jeths Mors Aeterna (c.9 mins) Mahler Symphony No.10 (ed. Deryck Cooke) (c.80 mins) No interval Antony Hermus conductor It was the artistic equivalent of raising the Titanic…When Gustav Mahler died, he left a vast final symphony tantalisingly incomplete. Five decades later, musicologist Deryck Cooke did the impossible and brought it to life, uncovering a lost masterpiece filled with puzzles and allusions — music in which cries of love and cries of pain resolve in music of shattering honesty and heartbreaking power. This is art that explores the great questions of life, and tonight, popular guest conductor Antony Hermus returns to guide us to the heart of Mahler’s final musical testament. He prefaces it with something unfamiliar, but wonderfully appropriate — a haunted, restless meditation on loss, Mahler and mortality by the remarkable Dutch composer Willem Jeths.
