Rafael Payare, conductor Alisa Weilerstein, cello Carl Maria von Weber: Overture to Der Freischütz (The Marksman) Serge Prokofiev: Sinfonia concertante for Cello and Orchestra in E minor, Op. 125 Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 From the San Diego Symphony: Our special guest, cellist Alisa Weilerstein, best describes Prokofiev’s expansive, romantic and fiendishly difficult work, the Sinfonia concertante for Cello and Orchestra, by advising: “Buckle up! You’re in for a really wild and a really thrilling ride. There are such moments of raw beauty and simple chaos, which are surrounded by some of the more spiky writing. I think people will be pleasantly surprised.” And, as if that’s not enough, the evening ends with Beethoven’s famously riveting Symphony No. 5. Note: gates for the Friday performance will open at 6 p.m. Additional performance: Saturday, Oct. 8, 2022 at the California Center for the Arts Escondido.

Join us for an evening of art & wine! What does art have to tell us about wine and food pairing? Still life paintings often show wine-- red, white, and sparkling -- with items of food that range from cheese and fruit to fish and meat. Paintings of meals --from humble peasants' dinners to opulent feasts of the aristocracy -- show tables where wine and food share space. Are these paintings guides to the way wines and foods were paired in the time of the Masters? Or did aesthetics dictate the color of the wines and the textures and shapes of the food? In this illustrated talk, Rod Phillips will tease wine and food connections from these works of art and draw parallels to the way today's sommeliers pair wine and food. The talk will be followed by a wine tasting. Cocktail Attire Ticket Coming Soon! About the Speaker: Rod Phillips is a professor of history at Carleton University, in Ottawa, Canada. He is the author of many books and articles on the history of wine, including "Wine: A Social and Cultural History of the Drink that Changed our Lives" (paperback, 2018), "French Wine: A History" (paperback, 2020), and "Alcohol: A History" (paperback, 2019).
