Kabalevsky’s witty and sparkling Colas Breugnon Overture bursts open the season with swagger and wit. Pianist Mackenzie Melemed brings grandeur and brilliance to Amy Beach’s richly romantic Piano Concerto. Prokofiev’s searing music from Romeo and Juliet closes the night, where love, violence, and heartbreak blaze across one of the orchestra’s most vivid scores.

La Mirada Symphony concludes its season with Echoes of Russia, a powerful program that showcases the depth and drama of Russian music. The program opens with Dmitri Kabalevsky’s spirited Overture to Colas Breugnon and features solo performances by outstanding student musicians from the Whittier Branch of MTAC. The season then comes to a stirring close with Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s iconic Symphony No. 6, “Pathétique,” a work of profound beauty and emotional power.

Russian Reveries

The Vista Center for the Arts

Some moments demand a double take: Romeo catching sight of Juliet across a crowded ballroom, a synthesizer taking the stage where the piano should be. This program explores impossible and intoxicating pairings. Sergei Prokofiev conjures Shakespeare’s star-crossed tragedy in all its beauty and brutality — forbidden love, violent delights, and violent ends. Grandson Gabriel Prokofiev offers his own unlikely pairing with the first-ever concerto for Asheville’s own Minimoog, where acid house collides with the classical and shattering convention becomes a family tradition.
