The Mexican Mahler Society has recognized the Jalisco Philharmonic Orchestra as the best interpreters of the works of Gustavo Mahler in the country.
Mahler Society President Francisco Bricio (right) presented orchestra director Jesus Medina with the honor at the final concert of the summer season held last weekend in Guadalajara’s Teatro Degollado, even though a piece by Mahler was not on the program.
The Mexican Mahler Society was founded in 1965, and shares a fraternal relationship with similar societies in 13 other countries that honor the famous Austrian composer, including the United States and the United Kingdom.
