Our concert season will open in September with Echos of Empire, featuring the sophisticated mischief of Richard Strauss’ medieval rogue Till Eulenspiegal, a concerto for drumset and orchestra, and Respighi’s vivid depictions of Ancient Rome.
Our October program, Operas of Seville, will highlight the dazzling array of operas set in Seville, and features works by Mozart, Rossini, Beethoven, Verdi, and Bizet.
In January, we will explore the Adagio from Mahler’s visionary 10th Symphony, a contemporary Korean work for Kayageum and orchestra, and Ravel’s sensually stylish ode to mythology and dance à la Paris, Daphnis et Chloe.
Our March concerts, Festivals, will celebrate festive traditions from Japan, Schumann’s romantic concerto for cello, and the fairground adventures of a magical puppet come to life in Stravinsky’s Petrushka.
Johann Sebastian Bach’s monumental and incomparable Mass in B minor will conclude our season in May, featuring star vocal soloists and the Cabrillo Symphonic Chorus.
Our Pops concert in June, John Williams Spectacular, will bring our love of the movies to the symphony stage with selections from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, ET, Jurassic Park, and more!
