International Gustav Mahler Society

The IGMG is the oldest globally active institution for Mahler research. Founded in 1955, it has made a fundamental contribution to the dissemination and reception of Gustav Mahler’s music since its beginnings with the publication of critical editions of Mahler’s works (Critical Complete Edition since 1960, New Critical Complete Edition since 2008). The curation of exhibitions as well as chairing and advising events such as symposia, colloquia, and lectures are also among the IGMG’s fields of activity.

The archive with its numerous primary and secondary sources attracts researchers and Mahler enthusiasts from all over the world. Large parts of the holdings have been available digitally since 2024. News about Mahler Research, a scholarly journal published by the society since 1976, comprises 76 issues to date (each in German and English) and is an important international forum for the debate on Mahler’s life and work.
