The combination of good programming, inspired conducting, and outstanding musicianship are what make the Santa Cruz Symphony performances such an enriching experience. The 2022-23 season will be no exception.
Daniel Stewart brings together talented musicians from San Francisco and the Bay Area to supplement our local talent. Those who travel have been welcomed into the homes of local individuals and families, an enhancing experience for both the hosts and the musicians.
The Host Program is one of the special benefits of performing with our Symphony and this year, more than ever, we need your help! In particular, there is a need for hosts in the immediate Santa Cruz area. Hosting does not require anything more then providing a guest room. Please consider hosting a musician for one or more concerts this season. The larger our list of volunteers, the fewer times we will need to contact you. Please keep in mind that vacations, other guests, and medical situations understandably occur and you are not expected to host every concert.
If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about our Host Program or is interested in hosting, please email the Housing Coordinator, Julia Fuerst, at scsymphonyhousing@gmail.com. Feel free to forward this email to your friends and neighbors.
Our celebratory season begins in September with thrillingly grand symphonic treatments of folkloric dances from across the world including Slavonic, Chinese, Rumanian, Hungarian, South African, and Mexican traditions, featuring a special collaboration with Watsonville’s own Esperanza del Valle Baile Folclórico.
