“A Monumental Season Finale with the Oklahoma City Philharmonic”
Oklahoma City, OK – The Oklahoma City Philharmonic concludes its 2025-2026 Classics Season with Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony, a towering work of emotional and musical magnitude, on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. at the Civic Center Music Hall.
Under the baton of Music Director Alexander Mickelthwate, the OKCPHIL joins forces with Canterbury Voices and featured soloists: Valerie Bernhardt and Megan Esther Grey to bring Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 “Resurrection” to life. This epic symphony explores themes of life, death, and hope, culminating in a transcendent finale that has moved audiences for over a century.
“This work is a spiritual and emotional journey unlike anything else in the orchestral repertoire,” said Alexander Mickelthwate, Music Director of the OKCPHIL. “Performing it is both a great honor and a profound responsibility – it’s the perfect way to close our season with power, beauty, and catharsis.”
With an expanded orchestra, chorus, and vocal soloists, Mahler’s Resurrection envelops the audience in a sonic landscape that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Mahler or discovering his genius for the first time, this performance will be an unforgettable experience.
