Maestro Daniel Stewart joins Hakan Ali Toker in a recital!

This is a first for Santa Cruz Symphony! Maestro Danny Stewart, a virtuoso on the viola, will join internationally known pianist Hakan Ali Toker on stage in recital.

Hakan returns following a rousing performance with Your Symphony last year. But he has improved significantly. For years, his sense of hearing was diminishing because of a childhood accident. He had surgery a few months ago to repair the loss, and now he can hear his music the way everyone else can.

It’s been a spiritual awakening. Hakan says he now plays with more restraint and simplicity, and he wants to share that joy with us. Danny looks forward to performing with him in this recital, promising a memorable afternoon of musical delights.

As always, our recitals are held in an intimate setting, where the musicians interact with the audience. Because of the limited capacity, order your tickets now for the best seating.
