Experience the delight of talented young musicians as the California Youth Symphony wraps up its season with Soloist Spectacular! Four winners of our Graduating Senior Soloist Competition will showcase their virtuosity with works by Saint-Saëns, Vieuxtemps, Barber, and Séjourné. The orchestra opens with Richard Wagner’s sublime and majestic Overture to the opera Die Meistersinger, which the composer considered his greatest work. Concluding the concert is the exceptional Symphony No. 1 by Dmitri Shostakovich. Composed at the astonishingly young age of 19, this symphony catapulted Shostakovich to international fame and showcased the remarkable talent of a true musical prodigy. This deeply moving and passionate symphony is a fitting finale to our Senior Orchestra season and is sure to leave you spellbound.
