Pacific Chorale - John Alexander, artistic director

In Mahler's Second Symphony, the composer ponders the question of life, death and transcendence and in so doing, pens some of his most sublime music.

Meditating on these questions required Mahler to compose the largest symphony ever known at that time - with massive instrumental and vocal forces, daring harmony structure, and expansive length - all to astonishing effect. As the composer once said, "The term 'symphony' means creating a world with all the technical means available."

This great masterpiece will be performed in celebration of John Alexander's remarkable 45-year tenure as Artistic Director of Pacific Chorale.
