Tucson Symphony music director José Luis Gómez makes his Juilliard Orchestra debut, leading Mahler’s “Titan” Symphony, an early glimpse into the composer’s “embrace everything” style of symphonic writing, which shifts between dance, folk music, a funeral dirge, and much more. Hailed by BroadwayWorld as “a master of controlled dynamics” who leads orchestras to “explore even the subtlest emotional nuances,” Gómez brings his distinctive musicality to the Juilliard stage.
 
Also on the program: Elgar’s contemplative and somber Cello Concerto and alum Lera Auerbach’s symphonic poem Icarus, an emotional, rousing, and memorable sonic journey.
