Join Maestro Eylar as he kicks off the 72nd season of the California Youth Symphony with a dazzling program featuring the award-winning and internationally recognized Senior Orchestra. We are both honored and delighted to be part of the new project California Festival: A Celebration of New Music and present a world premiere by noted Argentinian composer Valeria Pelka. Commissioned by the California Youth Symphony, Memorias Argentinas is a three-movement work that is inspired by the African roots of much Argentinian folk music: in particular, the chacarera, zamba, and malambo.
