22nd Season Overview
Our twenty-second season promises more of what Redwood Symphony has become famous for: innovative music, dynamically performed. You'll hear exciting interpretations of standards you thought you knew. And you'll discover unexpected new treasures, like the West Coast premiere of rock musician Elvis Costello's complete ballet score,
Il Sogno. This evocative and assured work combines classical and
popular idioms, and was entirely composed and orchestrated by the
popular song writer. Continued below

Critics laud us for our musical accomplishment and our fearless
programming. We'll explore gems you may not have heard, like Luciano
Berio's contemporary completion of Schubert's Tenth Symphony. You'll
learn how the same turbulent times could produce very different musical
reactions from Shostakovich (Symphony No. 9), Stravinsky (Symphony in
Three Movements), and Copland (Symphony No. 3). You'll hear how both Bartk and Dvork found inspiration in the music of their homelands.
You'll be amused by the off-the-wall hilarity of PDQ Bach (a.k.a. Prof.
Peter Schickele) in the 1712 Overture, or the wanton revelry and actual
bagpipes in Orkney Wedding by Peter Maxwell Davies. And we'll bring you
stunning soloists like singer Sylvie Braitman and violinist Karen
Bentley Pollick.
From our enlightening pre-concert
lectures to our family concert or evening pops event, you'll truly find
something for everyone. So come and share our passion for great
orchestral works. Subscribe today, and discover how much fun our
innovative, inspiring performances can be!
