"The concert opens with the rich harmonies of GRAMMY-winning composer Jessie Montgomery's Overture. Composed in 2022, Montgomery's Overture blends elements of jazz, American classical music, and Baroque rhythms, setting the tone for this lively concert. Nicknamed the Elvira Madigan concerto because of its use in the 1967 Swedish film, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 features one of classical music's most famous and serene melodies."
"California Symphony welcomes back pianist Robert Thies, who was praised by the Los Angeles Times as, "A pianist of unerring warm-toned refinement, revealing judicious glimmers of power" for this iconic concerto. The concert closes with Ludwig van Beethoven's towering Symphony No. 3 - the Eroica Symphony. A bold and powerful celebration of struggle, triumph, and humanity, the Eroica Symphony is where Beethoven truly began to push boundaries, introducing the emotional depth and drama that later culminated in the grandeur of the Ninth."
