The Auburn Symphony

We’re bringing back one of our former Young Artists Competition Grand Prize winners, Amaryn Olmeda.  She’s gone on to have a big international career, and we’re lucky to have her return to play Barber’s beautiful Violin Concerto.
We’ll also feature Mozart’s Symphony No. 38 and a special spotlight on our wind section with Strauss’s Wind Serenade.

Masterworks II: Amaryn Olmeda & Mozart 38

Placer High School Theater

Our Family Concert is always a favorite – this time we’re performing Peter and the Wolf, narrated by the always-charismatic Omari Tau.  It’s a great way to introduce kids (and grown-ups!) to the instruments of the orchestra.  We’ll also hear from this year’s Young Artists Grand Prize winner, Sumanth Ganga, performing Creston’s Sonata for Alto Saxophone and we’ll perform Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances No. 8, Op. 46.

Family Concert: Peter and the Wolf

We welcome back soprano Carrie Hennessey for Strauss’s gorgeous Four Last Songs, paired with Tchaikovsky’s powerful Symphony No. 5.  These are two of Maestro Murrays’ all-time favorite works, and they will leave a lasting impression.
