ANGEL MAHLER PRESENTS HIS ‘END OF THE WORLD’ SYMPHONY

"When I visited Ushuaia I was amazed by its magic. Walking along the Beagle Channel and the End of the World’s Lighthouse, I felt the urgent need to write about these wonders. The contrast between the stillness of the waters and the immense power of the sea… The variety of landscapes… The stunning colours of the sunrise… All of these make of Ushuaia a unique place. This Symphony is written on its honour".

MY MAIN PURPOSE:
TO AWAKE EMOTIONS

“All of my music has one common goal: To cause emotion. What music expresses is powerful and how situations are described is even stronger. My aim is to give a message that will reach people’s hearts. I am constantly searching for inspiring images which are a trigger to make music. As an artist, sharing my musical work is essential".
