Beth Taylor in Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 at the BBC Proms.

On August 11, 2025, acclaimed mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor appears as the alto soloist in Gustav Mahler’s Third Symphony at the Royal Albert Hall, as part of the BBC Proms. Known for her dark-hued tone and expressive depth, BethTaylor brings emotional resonance to Mahler’s profound setting of Nietzsche’s “O Mensch! Gib Acht!” and the luminous “Es sungen drei Engel”. Ryan Bancroft conducts a powerful collaboration between the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and the Orchestre National de Bretagne, joined by the CBSO Children’s Chorus and the upper voices of the National Chorus of Wales.

The Scottish mezzo-soprano has quickly risen to prominence as one of today’s leading interpreters of Mahler. Just weeks ago, she earned critical acclaim for her performance of Das Lied von der Erde in Munich.
