UC Davis Symphony Orchestra, with the University Chorus and the Alumni Chorus: “Resurrection”

Christian Baldini, director and conductor

In its first reunion with alumni chorus members since 2018, the UC Davis Symphony Orchestra and University Chorus join together to perform Mahler’s ‘Resurrection’ Symphony, a long-form symphony imbued with a deep reverence for Heaven and the journey to it from our mortal world. Mahler’s ‘Resurrection’ Symphony is clearly a Beethoven’s-Ninth kind of work, albeit written sixty plus years later, and written after decades of further symphonic development by not only Beethoven, but Berlioz, Brahms, and others.
