Overview

In his final concerts as San Francisco Symphony Music Director, Esa-Pekka Salonen leads Mahler’s Second Symphony—an SF Symphony staple. The Resurrection still matters because it moves us, and it moves us because it grapples with the Big Questions: Do our lives matter? Why must we suffer? Will we be healed? Reinforcing this theme of spiritual transcendence, Mahler wrote his own text for the finale: “Rise again…What you have conquered, will bear you to God!”
