Nutcracker: The Concert

Why You'll Love This Concert We’re used to seeing Maestro Wilson on the conductor’s podium.

The program will feature works from their latest album and promises to be a musical masterpiece not soon forgotten.

An Evening Recital

First Presbyterian Church of Santa Monica

Join our thrilling celebration of the joy, energy, and diversity of American music. Tap your feet to dance music from Still and Copland, be awed by Joan Tower’s response to Copland’s famous fanfare, and thrill to the Coltrane-inspired virtuosity of John Adams’ spirited Saxophone Concerto.

Celebrating America

Few classical composers are as beloved as Johannes Brahms, and few of his pieces are as popular as the works on this concert!  Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture bubbles over with playfulness and humor. Originally composed for a college graduation ceremony (at which the composer was awarded an honorary doctorate), you might expect Brahms to provide a serious piece befitting the solemn occasion. Instead, he delivered an energetic romp that celebrated the less studious side of college life. Countless melodies unfold one after the other— each of them borrowed from student drinking songs that would definitely have been recognized by the graduates in the audience.  Then, the winner of the annual Concerto Competition, Jacob White, performs Richard Strauss' carefree Horn Concerto No. 2.  The evening concludes with one of Brahms' most personal works — his Symphony No. 3. Its score contains the full range of human emotion, from dark despair to complete elation.

Brahms: Passion & Tenderness

Nicholas Canellakis takes center stage for a perennial audience favorite, Antonín Dvořák's Cello Concerto. Then Ransom Wilson leads the Redlands Symphony in two musical portraits of America: Dvořák’s New World Symphony and Harry Thacker Burleigh's From the Southland.

Dvorak in America

Explore all the colors and textures of the best of Mozart’s music. Maestro Wilson’s program for this year’s Mozart concert will remind you of the genius of one of the world’s most celebrated composers. This concert features horn player Martin Owen of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and BBC Symphony Orchestra, whom Maestro Wilson calls “perhaps the greatest hornist I have ever heard.”

Mozart, the Essence of Music

Enjoy a festive collection of holiday favorites in big band style with vocalist Alexis Morrast, the two-time winner of Showtime at The Apollo and a frequent headliner at the Kennedy Center and Lincoln Center. This concert will surely get everyone’s season off to a swinging start.
