Bring takeout or some snacks from home.

(Festival Commission & world premiere) opens the season with a work responding to the U.S. National Anthem through the lens of her intersectional identity as a dual Canadian-American citizen with Chinese familial lineage. The piece confronts the tension between patriotic tradition and the deeply imperfect struggle to uphold democratic values for all. \nPedro Emanuel Pereira‘s Clarinet Concerto (Festival Commission\, world premiere)\, featuring clarinetist Carlos Ferreira\, blends Portuguese musical traditions with experimental timbres and performative innovation\, reimagining virtuosity for the present moment. \nThe program concludes with Philip Glass‘s Symphony No. 15 Lincoln (West Coast premiere)—featuring GRAMMY® award winning baritone Zachary James—is a six-movement symphony incorporating Abraham Lincoln’s own words\, including the Emancipation Proclamation and reflections on law\, power\, and ambition.

Waters: Defending Greenwood (West Coast premiere) \nHannah Ishizaki: Spin (West Coast premiere) \nDan Dediu: Concerto for Orchestra (U.S premiere) \nA genre-expanding program examining power\, agency\, and the forces that shape contemporary life. \nClarice Assad‘s Kontrol (Festival Commission\, world premiere)\, featuring violinist Philippe Quint\, is a genre-defying work for narrator\, projections\, violin\, and orchestra that interrogates the role of technology in human autonomy. \nDefending Greenwood (Movement III: June 1\, 1921) (West Coast premiere) by Jackson A. Waters—winner of the 2026 Cabrillo Emerging Black Composers Prize—bears witness to the Tulsa Race Massacre\, countering historical erasure through musical testimony and remembrance. \nMerging the Viennese waltz with electronic dance music\, Hannah Ishizaki’s Spin (West Coast premiere)\, evokes motion\, disorientation\, and suspended time. As elegant triple-meter gestures collide with pulsing\, club-like rhythms\, the piece blurs past and present\, creating a dizzying soundscape that feels both nostalgic and uncannily immediate. \nDan Dediu‘s Concerto for Orchestra (U.S. premiere) closes the program with a virtuosic and celebratory showcase of the ensemble\, dedicated to Cristian Măcelaru in recognition of their long-standing artistic collaboration.
