California Symphony Presents "Emperor"

After more than a year of offering virtual performances during the pandemic, California Symphony returns to live concerts next month, launching its 2021-22 season with Emperor, a program that presents music of comfort to Bay Area audiences. Award-winning pianist Adam Golka headlines the performance with Beethoven’s heroic The Emperor Concerto (Piano Concerto No. 5 in E♭ major, Op. 73), offering music of hope and unity. Marianna Martines’ captivating Sinfonia and Ralph Vaughan Williams’ rarely performed Symphony No. 5 will also be featured. Says California Symphony Music Director Donato Cabrera, who will conduct this concert, “The music I chose for California Symphony's 2021-22 season reflects upon and acknowledges the reality that our community has been without live music for well over a year and a half. When actively engaged with, live music has the unique ability to give us personal perspective and understanding while in a shared setting. Through our programming this season, California Symphony welcomes back our Bay Area family with open arms.”
