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."
