One symphony binds five people, each unaware that tonight their lives will change forever ... Five people sit in different parts of a concert hall in the North of England as the orchestra plays Mahler's Fifth Symphony. Remember the soundtrack to Death in Venice? The powerful music influences the mood as their thoughts swing between past and present and dwell on the events which will inevitably bring them to tonight's life-changing conclusion. The failing businessman, his unfulfilled wife, their troubled student son, the angry violinist; all are unaware of the presence of an unknown young woman who will devastate the rest of their lives. During twenty-five compelling chapters, in the voices and thoughts of the five, a complex jigsaw of relationships, deceit, defeat and sexuality gradually emerges through a shocking crescendo to the concert finale.
