On Saturday 6th April 2019 Frits Zwart was one of speakers at the ‘Maestro: Conductors in Performance’ symposium, hosted by The Royal Academy of Music and organised in conjunction with Bern University of the Arts.

 

Willem Mengelberg was one of the earliest champions of Gustav Mahler’s music and one of the composer’s most respected interpreters. In his talk ‘Testament of a Friendship’ Zwart examined the relationship between the conductor and the composer and spoke about the important role that Mengelberg played in the dissemination of Mahler’s music.
