Luciano Berio celebrates the rich materials of folklore in Folk Songs, arranging songs from all over the globe — from Black is the Color of My True Love’s Hair to the Azerbaijan Love Song. New commissions by Left Coast remix additional folk songs to complement Berio’s masterpiece, and Carl Schimmel gives us a topsy-turvy resetting of the classic Little Red Riding Hood story for the 21st century!

Stacey Pelinka, Berkeley Symphony’s second flutist, presents Connections, which builds upon the community of composers, living and not. Through this program, you’ll meet familiar faces and meet some new ones, all of whom will make you feel like you’re reuniting with long-lost friends. Stacey’s contemporary chamber music expertise shines in Connections, as she has been a key artistic member of ensembles such as the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble and as a founding member of Eco Ensemble.
