On Saturday, 6 September 2025, the Basilica of Santa Maria de Montserrat will host an exceptional performance of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, “Resurrection”, conducted by Maestro Josep Pons. This concert is part of the Montserrat Millennium celebrations and brings together the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the Liceu Symphony Orchestra and Choir, and the Escolania de Montserrat in a special collaboration.
Mahler’s monumental symphony—an emblem of hope and rebirth—takes on special resonance in such a spiritually and symbolically powerful setting.
“Conducting Mahler’s Second in Montserrat is an extraordinary artistic and human experience: the music, the place, and the sense of transcendence merge in a truly unique way.”
With this concert, Josep Pons continues his ongoing journey through Mahler’s symphonic cycle, reaffirming the Liceu’s commitment to great symphonic repertoire and to the spiritual power of music.
