Event Calendar

Jayce Ogren, Music Director and Conductor

Lara Downes, piano

Concert three, Palo Corona meaning Crown Tree, is a concert about transformation, transcendence, salvation, and overcoming personal setbacks. Weber's Der Freischütz is a story about the redeeming power of love. Jennifer Higdon's Blue Cathedral represents one's travels over a lifetime and toward the afterlife. Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 embodies bacchic, dance qualities. Each of these pieces has more than a passing attention to the connections between the natural and supernatural worlds. This concert also features a world premiere of a Concerto for Piano and Orchestra by Monterey Symphony Composer in Residence John Wineglass with trailblazing pianist Lara Downes.
