The U-M Life Sciences Orchestra presents one of the all-time masterpieces of classical music: Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2, "Resurrection", featuring more than 100 musicians, plus choir and vocal soloists.

The concert will begin at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 23 at Hill Auditorium. It is free and open to the public; no tickets are required. Opening remarks will be given by David Canter, executive director of the U-M North Campus Research Complex.

The LSO, which is made up of members of the U-M medical and science community, will play under the baton of Kenneth Kiesler, a Mahler specialist and director of the U-M orchestral conducting program. Oriol Sans is the LSO's music director.

The Resurrection symphony is an uplifting, powerful and inspiring work -- and a fitting way to begin the LSO's second decade of blending science and music.
