We are excited for our annual Pops Concert!

It's almost time for Your Symphony's final concert of the season, and it's going to be an incredible experience! On June 18 the concepts and imagery of world-renowned local photographer Frans Lanting and the captivating music of Philip Glass will be showcased in LIFE: A Journey Through Time. This multimedia orchestral production celebrates the splendor of life on Earth. LIFE interprets the history of nature’s existence on our planet in seven glorious movements, from its earliest beginnings to its present diversity, in a work that merges the visual and performing arts with life and earth sciences.

Join us before the concert for a street party at 5 pm featuring live music and delicious food and drink right in front of the Civic Auditorium. Then at 6:30 PM, a science panel with leading researchers from UC Santa Cruz — astrophysicist Natalie Batalha, geologist Gary Griggs, geneticist David Haussler, and paleoecologist Paul Koch — will add insights about the evolution of life on Earth. They will be joined onstage by Frans Lanting, who will explain the ideas behind LIFE: A Journey Through Time. This will be the perfect prelude to immersing yourself in the marvelous photos of Frans Lanting and the magical music of Philip Glass by Your Symphony under the direction of Maestro Daniel Stewart, starting at 7:30pm.

We can't wait to see you there!

Have the time of your LIFE with the Santa Cruz Symphony!

EXPERIENCE A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME AS THE SANTA CRUZ SYMPHONY PRESENTS LIFE!

The concepts and imagery of world-renowned local photographer Frans Lanting and the captivating music of Philip Glass will be showcased in the 15th Anniversary performance of LIFE: A Journey Through Time. This multimedia orchestral production celebrates the splendor of life on Earth. LIFE interprets the history of nature’s existence on our planet in seven glorious movements, from its earliest beginnings to its present diversity, in a work that merges the visual and performing arts with life and earth sciences.

“Lanting’s majestic photographs dance lightly across a huge screen over the orchestra, while some of Glass’s most elegant music pulses underneath. It’s a celebration of nature in all its glory.” - The Washington Post

JOIN US FOR THE STREET PARTY!

Your Symphony’s presentation of LIFE will begin at 5:00pm with a street party featuring live music from Samba Cruz Quartet, delicious food from some of Santa Cruz’s best food trucks, and wine, beer and soft drinks right in front of the Civic Auditorium. Bring your friends, listen and dance to fun rhythmic music, enjoy great food, and engage in lively conversation!
