Robert Spano, conductor Conrad Tao, piano San Diego Symphony Orchestra ADAM SCHOENBERG: Cool Cat JOHN ADAMS: Century Rolls RACHMANINOFF: Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 44 An exuberant celebration of music by three composers, all of whom came from elsewhere to live in California. The youngest, Massachusetts-born Adam Schoenberg, is famous for his ability to meld popular idioms into energetic pieces for classical audiences and Cool Cat is no exception. This delightful fanfare of an overture celebrates the life of P-22, the world-famous mountain lion who lived for a decade in the hills above Los Angeles. John Adams, one of the most renowned American composers, wrote his piano concerto Century Rolls in the 1990s as a celebration of the great age of American player-piano recordings a century ago by artists such as Jelly Roll Morton and Gershwin. Russian-born Rachmaninoff himself spent much of the last quarter century of his life in the US, becoming a citizen and owning homes in New York and Los Angeles. Rachmaninoff was a huge admirer of American popular music and in the last movement of his Third Symphony we can hear his delight in Hollywood film-music and especially the movies of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

George Orwell was one of the most radical and visionary authors of the 20th Century, whose 1940s novels, such as "1984" and "Animal Farm," foretold a chilling, all-too-believable authoritarian future that has become scarily prescient in our modern era. Acclaimed director Raoul Peck ("I Am Not Your Negro"), working in collaboration with the Orwell Estate, seamlessly interweaves historical clips, readings from Orwell’s diary, cinematic references, and dynamic modern day footage to craft not only a definitive portrait of the writer himself, but an entirely fresh take on how remarkably relevant and prophetic his work has become. Featuring award-winning actor Damian Lewis as the voice of Orwell.

Rafael Payare, conductor Leonidas Kavakos, violin San Diego Symphony Orchestra BRAHMS Symphony No. 3 in F Major, Op. 90 BRAHMS Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 77 Brahms is not only one of the most famous and cherished composers in all of 19th century music, but an artist of rich and wonderful contradictions. A musical architect of incredible intellectual skill, he wrote music that tugs instinctively at every human heart. Anyone can listen to it and be deeply moved and captivated by it, but each of us will always find that there is more and more to discover in it. Brahms, in a word, is a whole world of feelings and of melody. This San Diego Symphony festival is a rare occasion, bringing together some of his best-loved pieces – his four symphonies, his violin concerto and his ravishingly beautiful German Requiem – so that we can listen to them all in a single breath. Don’t miss this opportunity to take a deep dive into one of the greatest musical imaginations that ever lived! San Diego Symphony on Facebook / Instagram
