Elena Schwarz takes the podium to lead the Symphony in a program of modern masterworks by John Adams and Thomas Adès and one of Western classical music’s most beloved and recognizable works: Dvořák's Symphony No. 9. Adams composed The Chairman Dances while working on his opera Nixon in China inspired by an image of Mao Tse-Tung dancing the foxtrot. A specialist in the works of living composers, Leila Josefowicz joins the Symphony for Adès’ modern masterpiece Concentric Paths, co-commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic by the composer who also has many ties to – and a strong history with – California. Written while he was living in the United States, Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 drew inspiration from African-American spirituals introduced to him by his then-student, the great pioneer of American music, composer Harry T. Burleigh. Visit: https://www.sandiegosymphony.org/performances/a-new-world-odyssey-adams-ad%C3%A8s-dvo%C5%99%C3%A1k/ San Diego Symphony on Instagram and Facebook

The House education committee is charged with forging consensus on the nation's education policy. But at a recent meeting, partisan differences were on full display.

This September, Ballet Collective San Diego is proud to present "RESONANCE," a melodic evening of diverse contemporary ballet works by local choreographers Tylor Bradshaw, Reka Gyulai, Holly Meacham, Whitney Edwards, and Emily Miller with Guest Choreographer Holly Curran (Metropolitan Opera NYC) choreographed to a wide range of musical offerings, with special guests The Hausmann Quartet and other musical collaborators. "RESONANCE" touches the pulse of what is important to each choreographer and dancer—the rapture in hearing music that is close to us, what is real and honest between two people sharing space, and the power of many bodies breathing together as one.
