Mahler Symphony No. 2 in C minor (“Resurrection”)

The ecstatic praise given to Gustav Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony might seem hyperbolic to those unfamiliar, but the impact this colossal symphony has on listeners is real. “I think there is no one who can resist it,” Mahler once said. “One is battered to the ground and then raised on angel’s wings to the highest heights.” Tonight, experience the life-changing symphony in the same concert hall where Mahler conducted its US premiere. Led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, The Philadelphia Orchestra welcomes world-renowned singers Ying Fang and Joyce DiDonato alongside the Philadelphia Symphonic Choir.
