Soprano Sarah Traubel on Mahler and the appeal of the Australian World Orchestra

Each year, the Australian World Orchestra brings together Australia's top musicians from all over the world. On September 3 and 4, the orchestra plays Mahler's 4th and 5th symphonies — with German soprano Sarah Traubel. In conversation, she explains, among other things, what fascinates her in particular about Mahler, what role her solo plays — and why she experiences participating in the Australian World Orchestra like a class reunion in which she herself is the welcomed 'exchange student.
