Five choirs, including the Vivace Chorus and the London Symphony Chorus, are combining with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to perform one of the greatest and most ambitious choral works, Mahler's Eighth Symphony - the Symphony of a Thousand - to mark the centenary of the composer's death. The sheer scale of this symphony means that it is rarely heard live. This highlight of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's London concert season will involve a full symphony orchestra, eight soloists, two huge choruses and a children's choir.
