If you've never seen a live performance of Mahler's Second Symphony, do yourselves a favor and just go. Even if you're not 'into' classical music, this 90 minute experience will change you.

Was entstanden ist, das muß vergehen!
Was vergangen, auferstehen!
Hör' auf zu beben!
Bereite dich zu leben!

What was created must perish,
What has perished must rise again.
Tremble no more!
Prepare yourself to live!

“People often ask what it feels like to conduct. It is very hard to describe...at the end of it you feel that you have arrived in heaven having gone through hell.” -Semyon Bychkov about Mahler's 2nd.

For those of you in either New York or Chicago, you're in luck! There are some performances coming up in the next few weeks. Just go, you won't regret it.
