Sponsorship
New ways to promote Mahler
In the past GMS UK has supported a number of musical events as part of our commitment to informing and educating audiences about Mahler’s life, music and work. These have included live and online performances by orchestras or individual artists, pre-concert talks and virtual performances of Mahler’s music. As active members of the international Mahler Foundation we have shared virtual events with the world-wide Mahler family, so providing a free promotional platform.
More events are planned for 2024 see our Concerts and Events page
