Recordings such as Biggie’s “Juicy,” “Hypnotize,” and “Who Shot Ya” and Tupac’s “Changes,” “Ghetto Gospel,” and “California Love” are interpolated in thematically-linked mashups that speak of hard roads, ravaged communities, gangster life and letting loose. As Mahler’s music whirls and rises to its triumphant climax, you’ll be reminded of the powerful and profound legacy of these two rappers, who, twenty-five years after their deaths, are as relevant and essential as ever. $45 - $103. 7:30 PM. 75 N 2nd St 602-495-1999 phoenixsymphony.org 5/17 - 5/19.
