Music Director Joana Carneiro and Berkeley Symphony continue the 2014-2015 season with the world premiere of Jake Heggie's Camille Claudel: Into the Fire for Orchestra and Mezzo-Soprano. Originally written as a song cycle for string quartet and mezzo-soprano, a new version of this work was commissioned by Berkeley Symphony for full orchestra. Mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, acclaimed for her performances in symphony, opera, chamber and recital settings as "the luminous standout" (The New York Times), makes her debut appearance with the orchestra as soloist. The evening opens with Ravel's Mother Goose Suite, with Brahms' Symphony No. 4 completing the program.
