When Gustav Mahler debuted his Second Symphony, it was immediately clear that the popularity of the symphony nicknamed \u201cResurrection\u201d would last well beyond his lifetime. In fact, Classical Music Magazine<\/em> dubbed Mahler\u2019s Symphony No. 2 one of the greatest symphonies of all time. The Phoenix Symphony concludes its season with the musical journey that begins at the funeral bier of a beloved friend and ends with redemption and resurrection in a mighty choral finale. Katherine Whyte, a compellingly dramatic soprano, and Megan Esther Grey, a potently precise contralto, join The Phoenix Symphony Chorus in a work that is both profound and extraordinary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
