The Los Angeles Philharmonic performs one of Stravinsky's most influential works, The Rite of Spring, in its 100th anniversary year. When the piece premiered in 1913 as a ballet, Stravinski's avant-garde score combined with Vaslav Nijinsky's equally avant-garde choreography nearly caused a riot in the audience and sparked a revolution that changed the course of classical music. This masterpiece of orchestral color and energy is led by a master of those elements, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Principal Conductor of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra. Also on the program, fiery and expressive young violin virtuoso Augustin Hadelich tackles the temperaments of Tchaikovsky's beloved Violin Concerto. Learn More

The Dvorark could have been better.
The post-concert refreshments (dolmas and sauce) did not seem to have been properly prepared and/or refrigerated.

Sibelius - Spring Song, Op. 16
Grieg - Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 16
Dvorak - Symphony No. 8 in G Major, Op. 88
Great American pianist Jeffrey Siegel returns for his fifth appearance with the Peninsula Symphony. Siegel has performed with orchestras and conductors throughout the world and brings an uncommon passion and artistry to his music-making. The centerpiece of the concert, Grieg’s Piano Concerto, is a piece for which Siegel is nationally recognized and is one of the most celebrated of piano works, replete with ravishing melody and powerful drama. The evening will also include Dvorak’s supremely poetic and festive Symphony No. 8 in G Major.
