🎶 Walnut Creek, California Symphony Artistic and Music Director Donato Cabrera is spilling the tea —
Concertmaster Jennifer Cho and Assistant Concertmaster Sam Weiser are stepping out from their seats at the front of the orchestra to perform Arvo Pärt`s Tabula Rasa as soloists, a deeply moving conversation between two violins that will stop you in your tracks.
This is a rare moment to see California Symphony`s own all-stars take center stage, right here in Walnut Creek.
Join us at the Lesher Center March 21 & 22 for NORTHERN LIGHTS.
✅ The truth? At California Symphony, you can clap when you hear something you like, sip your signature cocktail during the performance, come as you are, enjoy free pre-concert talks that explain everything, experience Donato`s fun and engaging style, hear world premieres and living composers every season, and actually have fun. Join California Symphony at the Lesher Center for the Performing Arts. We like to do things a little differently at California Symphony—concerts should be fun!
