The new concert season of music starts off with a bang as the world’s most prestigious symphony arrives at your doorstep!

The lineup includes ten female guest artists in three different conductors from BIPOC communities; seven works for orchestra by Latin American composers like Osvaldo Golijov (Last Round), Andrés Martín (Concerto For Double Bass) , and Tijuana-based composers to name only a few. This is not just any symphony either – it’s Also programming rich commissions including premiering new pieces written specifically for this event as well two world premieres commissioned by them too “Osceola” composed by Indigenous recorder player Orlando Barnechea del Río & Colombian violinist/composerGust.

The San Diego Symphony is making waves with its “Hear Us Here” tour of the city! The Rady Shell, a new public park and event venue that was inaugurated on August 5 hosted 28 performances in its first two months drawing more than 88 thousand people for events.

The Motive Behind Of San Diego Symphony Concert Season

The California Center for the Arts is proud to present Hear Us Here! The winter-spring season will feature performances from multiple programs at this wonderful venue. Guests can see your favorite shows, including Dance Theater of Harlem’s iconic On Our Own Ground series in a theater experience like no other with breathtaking views and elegant acoustics.

The diverse San Diego Symphony will be on tour this fall with performances at the beautiful Baker-Baum Concert Hall in La Jolla, The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park on San Diego Bay, and near downtown to close out 2018. They’re also set for individual shows across town like an encore date of sorts by heading down south into Solana Beach where you can catch them playing right outside SeaWorld’s new aquarium that just opened. Ahead up soon we’ll get another taste from one of our favorite venues when they take over Joan B Kroc Theater as partook performing arts center located next door.

The San Diego Symphony will be performing an exclusive concert for the benefit of Palm Springs Friends of Philharmonic at McCallum Theatre in November. The Barbara Fremont Foundation has also offered to sponsor this event, providing that all proceeds are donated towards charity.

After exploring opportunities on both sides – Mexico and California- officials have speculated about how their respective borders may open up again soon enough so visitors can once more enjoy music across international lines without worrying about crossing into another country illegally or being denied entry because they lack necessary paperwork like visas/permits etc.

The Comment By The Music Promoter

Music Director Rafael Payare said, “I’m so looking forward to the coming season as we finally get a chance to perform music from Berlioz with Symphonie Fantastique. In addition, we will be presenting Schnittke’s Moz-Art à la Haydn in a concert at The Rady Shell this year! Last but not least, our final performance of the Calendar Year is going off without any glitches when you can end it all by watching Beethoven’s magnificent Ninth Symphony.”

And finally, there’s “The Grand Tour” featuring 24 performances across 2 months–the best seats can go as high as 947$.
