The Embrace Everything podcast series is an exploration and celebration of the music of Gustav Mahler. Throughout his life, Mahler insisted that music had to embrace everything literally.
This makes his compositions unusually rich in what they offer both audience and musicians. Each season explores a different Mahler symphony, including interviews with leading conductors, music scholars, and musicians. Additionally, Mahler’s own words and those of his contemporaries are read by actors.
