The cutting-edge 2023 partnership between the Beijing Music Festival and the brand-new Mahler Foundation Festival Orchestra unites a shared vision of heritage, innovation, and the future direction of classical music. Fully committed to a new generation of young composers and performers, British conductor John Warner uses Mahler’s music and innovative spirit to inspire and unite audiences worldwide. Four dedicated concerts in this special series feature world premieres by aspiring composers from China and abroad in dialogue with 20th- century masters and iconic works by Gustav Mahler. In this grand finale, the Mahler Foundation Festival Orchestra is joined by Shanghai-based Novus-Classic Camerata in a program that features the world premiere of Big Bang by Ying Wang alongside works by George Benjamin, Gustav Mahler, and Dvořák’s Symphony “From the New World,” a highly
innovative work that opened a new vista more than a century ago.
The grand finale of the 25th/26th BMF marks “New Beginnings”, first introducing a world premiere—Big BANG!—by Wang Ying, followed by Mahler’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen and Sir George Benjamin’s At First Light, written when the British composer was only 22. The second half of the program concludes the entire festival with Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony, “From the New World,” an innovative work that opened a new vista more than a century ago, the performance of which conductor Yukuang Jin leads the Mahler Foundation Festival Orchestra and the Shanghai-based Novus-Classic Camerata to round out the 25th/26th BMF. The combination of Chinese and international young musicians on stage reaffirm the BMF’s continuing mission—that youth and music herald our future with positive attitudes.

以“开端”为灵感的音乐会将“风华少年 自新世界”为主题为第二十五 /第二十六届北京国际音乐节圆满闭幕。这场音乐会将由作曲家王颖的作品《大爆炸》开场，继以马勒的首部声乐套曲《旅人之歌》，接下来是乔治 • 本杰明爵士在 22 岁时创作的杰出作品《黎明时分》。在音乐会的下半场，且让我们屏息聆听音乐史上一位最著名的旅人所写下的心声——德沃夏克的《自新大陆》将作曲家独在异乡为异客的心态展现得淋漓尽致。他对故国的怀恋与对新家园的喜爱同时展现在了这部伟大的交响杰作里，而在年轻的中国指挥家金郁矿的率领下，马勒基金会节日乐团与新古典室内乐团的音乐家们共同为听众呈现这部象征着文化交流与融合的音乐作品，也正是中外青年音乐家们在北京国际音乐节的舞台上向世界所发出的宣言：音乐青春， 未来态度 ——以此为第 25/26 届北京国际音乐节划上精彩的句号， 并进入下一个四分之一世纪的启航。
