The annual Mahler at Pacific program at University of the Pacific is a wonderful opportunity for select high school musicians to play alongside Pacific's University Symphony Orchestra. High school students join our own students to rehearse and perform a Mahler symphony under the baton of orchestra director Nicolas Waldvogel on Pacific’s beautiful campus.
