The 2009 Summer Tour of the GUSTAV MAHLER JUGENDORCHESTER consisted of two parts:
Jonathan Nott conducted the GUSTAV MAHLER JUGENDORCHESTER in two demanding concert programmes that covered a broad repertoire of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, at twelve concerts, including appearances at the Lucerne Festival, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and the BBC Proms.
In the second part of the tour under Franz Welser-Möst, the GUSTAV MAHLER JUGENDORCHESTER performed in Linz, Vienna, and – for the first time – the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. The programmes included works by Sibelius, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky.
