Nicknamed "Symphony of a Thousand" (a moniker Mahler himself hated) by the stage manager of the premiere performance because of the sheer number of musicians needed to stage the event, the performance also marks the 100th anniversary of the piece's first performance in Munich, Germany on September 12th, 1910.
