Dvorak’s Symphony No. 7
Discover the unique voice of Bay Area composer Cindy Cox, whose work has been called “a delight to listen to” and “buoyant, puckish, rhythmically alive and crisply engaging” by San Francisco Chronicle critic Joshua Kosman. Compositions by this internationally-recognized UC Berkeley professor have been performed at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center and throughout Europe. For this special program, the California Symphony proudly showcases three of the region’s finest orchestral musicians: flutist Monica Daniel-Barker, a prizewinner at top competitions in Italy and Japan; award-winning clarinetist Jerome Simas, who can be heard on two Michael Tilson Thomas recordings and frequently performs with motion picture studio orchestras at Skywalker Ranch; and violist Marcel Gemperli, a Harvard graduate who continued his musical studies in Germany and Switzerland as a Henry Russell Shaw Fellow.
