Classical music is always evolving, always being transformed by its many interpretations. Our Adaptations concert on November 2/3 will take us to a higher level of insight. Join Santa Cruz Symphony and Music Director Daniel Stewart as we explore the interplay of culture and art with works by Antonín Dvořák, Erich Korngold, and Josef Sekon.
Our dazzling soloist Nancy Zhou, Santa Cruz Symphony's own Artist in Residence and Concertmaster, will perform Erich Korngold's Violin Concerto—a piece originally premiered by famed violinist Jascha Heifetz. We'll also present the world premiere of Spin by Santa Cruz composer Josef Sekon. Finally, Antonín Dvořák's vibrant and lyrical Symphony no. 8 will blend Bohemian folk influences with lush Romantic orchestration, showcasing the composer's mastery of melody and orchestration.
This will be an unforgettable program to enchant your senses and elevate your spirit!
