We celebrated the conclusion of an incredible concert season with our Pops Street Party and Movie Night Concert on June 10. What a marvelous evening of food, fun, and of course music! We’re so grateful to all of you for making the 2022-23 season such an outstanding success.

Your support of Santa Cruz Symphony and your enthusiasm for classical music allow us to grow and thrive and continue bringing musical excellence to our community. We hope you’ll subscribe and attend all of our concerts next season, which begins on September 23 and 24 with Echos of Empire.

WELCOME TO THE 2023-24 SEASON OF YOUR SANTA CRUZ SYMPHONY!

Daniel Stewart
Music Director

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 Gayageum 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!
