- **Event Name**: The Mahler Sessions: David Robertson (Former Music Director, St. Louis Symphony)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Feb, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The distinguished conductor David Robertson—former music director of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra—joins Tufts students for the next installment of the Mahler Sessions, a new series of public conversations about the art of interpretation, featuring some of the leading classical voices of today and tomorrow.

About the Mahler Sessions: 
The composer Gustav Mahler famously declared that a symphony should be like the world: it must contain everything. But before a musical world can be heard, it must be performed — and interpreted. How do musicians approach the task of interpretation today, and how should we as listeners? Please join us for The Mahler Sessions, an exciting spring series of student-led conversations with leading classical musicians of today and tomorrow, all of them appearing for the first time on Tufts campus.
