California Symphony's March concerts feature music of reflection, resistance, and radiant transformation spanning the last century. Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov's Stille Musik from 2002 sets the tone, taking listeners on a meditative journey away from the noise of everyday life. California Symphony all-stars Concertmaster Jennifer Cho and Assistant Concertmaster Sam Weiser are featured in Estonian composer Arvo Part's Tabula Rasa, a minimalistic, melodic conversation between two violins, in a dramatic, modern masterpiece from 1977 that is deeply moving and powerful. Stirring and uplifting, Finnish composer Jean Sibelius's Symphony No. 2, written at the turn of the last century, captures the breathtaking beauty of the Nordic landscape and evokes a sense of fearless optimism. Its sweeping melodies and bold themes make it a powerful celebration of resilience and triumph.


California Symphony takes the stuffiness out of the concert experience: Take selfies at the photo booth, order a signature cocktail, and sip at your seat. Tickets include a free 30-minute pre-concert talk by award-winning instructor Scott Foglesong, starting one hour before the show.
