Pacific Symphony - Shelley Conducts Mahler 2

This October, the Pacific Symphony performs Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, known as the “Resurrection” Symphony, led by guest conductor Shelley. This piece is a comprehensive work, moving from moments of quiet contemplation to large-scale orchestral and choral sections. It’s a significant undertaking for any orchestra, showcasing the full range of Mahler's compositional ambition. The Shelley Conducts Mahler 2 event takes place on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa. The Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall is a good setting for a work of this scale, offering a clear acoustic environment. This performance will appeal to those interested in classical repertoire, particularly the larger Romantic symphonies.
