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.
Gustav
Mahler: Symphony No. 2 (“Resurrection”)
with the University and Alumni Choruses, Erik Peregrine,

Featuring student and community singers from the UC Davis
community directed by UC Davis lecturer in music Erik
Peregrine, these three choruses present diverse choral
repertoire representative of our choral traditions of the past,
our present, as well as new and developing traditions. Choruses
of UC Davis are comprised of the University Chorus, Chamber
Singers, and Early Vocal Ensemble.
