Watch CCM’s orchestra and choirs join forces with alumni artists Amanda Woodbury and Kayleigh Decker
The UC College-Conservatory of Music opened its 2024-25 concert series in epic fashion on Saturday, Sept. 21, with a sold out performance of Gustav Mahler’s colossal Symphony No. 2, “Resurrection," in Corbett Auditorium. The entire performance is now available for on-demand streaming below, including opening remarks by new CCM Dean Pete Jutras.
This performance of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony features the combined forces of the CCM Philharmonia student orchestra, CCM Chamber Choir, CCM Chorale and UC Choruses, along with alumni guest artists Amanda Woodbury (soprano) and Kayleigh Decker (mezzo-soprano). CCM faculty member Mark Gibson conducts. View the orchestra and choir rosters, and learn more about the alumni guest artists.

Assembling 250 student musicians to play a work of such intensity and scale would be considered a daring feat, but the CCM Philharmonia and Choruses more than rose to the occasion.
Classical Concert Reviews Cinci
About Mahler's Symphony No. 2
The "Resurrection" symphony explores themes of life and death, tragedy and triumph. This epic work creates a symphonic universe for the audience: from the tragic opening march, through pastoral dances and gentle songs to a final tableau of trumpet calls, percussive thunderbolts and the hymn of resurrection.
"I hope and trust that audience members will experience a transformational event in this performance of Mahler 2," Gibson said in an interview before the Sept. 21 performance. "It should be overwhelming in scope and impact."
In a recap of the performance, Connor Annable of Classical Concert Reviews Cinci observed that CCM's rendition of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 "must be considered the finest ever given by a collegiate orchestra on this side of the Atlantic. Assembling 250 student musicians to play a work of such intensity and scale would be considered a daring feat, but the CCM Philharmonia and Choruses more than rose to the occasion."
