2024 Masterpiece Series Season

Dynamic and engaging performances continue at the New West Symphony! Our exciting 29th season includes the dazzling exploits of Cirque de la Symphonie, feats of human skill synchronized to live symphonic masterpieces.  We celebrated the 100th anniversary of George Gershwin’s popular Rhapsody in Blue and Ottorino Respighi’s spectacular Pines of Rome. The world premiere of a New West Symphony commissioned work by Los Angeles favorite Derrick Skye continues the Symphony’s commissioning program. Familiar favorites in the new season include works of Mendelssohn, Dvořák and Brahms.

New West Symphony concertmaster Alyssa Park makes her Symphony solo debut with Maurice Ravel’s brilliant Tzigane and Derrick Skye’s atmospheric Infinite Mosaic. Also making their New West Symphony main stage debuts are pianists Daniel Vnukowski playing George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Lara Downes playing Scott Joplin’s Four Rags for Piano and Orchestra.
