"San Jose welcomes the 24th season of Symphony San Jose with an enchanting program titled Masquerade at the California Theatre in Downtown San Jose on October 4 and 5, 2025. Performances occur Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday at 2:30pm, featuring conductor Nathan Aspinall leading the orchestra through works that evoke fantasy and emotion. This opening sets a high note for the year, showcasing the city's thriving classical music scene in a historic venue at 345 South First Street."
"The program opens with Anna Clyne's Masquerade, a five-minute orchestral piece commissioned by the British Broadcasting Corporation and premiered in 2013, capturing celebration and revelry. San Jose native Jon Nakamatsu performs Sergei Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, the composer's 1934 work for piano and orchestra known for its technical brilliance. The evening concludes with Hector Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique from 1830, a revolutionary symphony portraying love, delirium, and visions through vivid orchestration."
