The Eastman School of Music’s Philharmonia and the Eastman Rochester Chorus tore the roof off the sucker last night in Kodak Hall. The free concert of Mahler’s wild Symphony No. 2, commonly known as “The Resurrection” although it is not about Christ, was dedicated to the memory of Dean Douglas Lowry who passed away a few weeks ago. The place was packed and there were nearly 300 instrumentalists and choral members on stage. Eight double bass players!
