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 celebrate 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.

Tony® and GRAMMY® Award-winning Jennifer Holliday will be our special guest for the Holidays with Jennifer Holliday concert on December 2 & 3, 2023. Renewing subscribers may add this optional concert in the space provided on their renewal form. Seating for the concert will be the same as your subscription seats.

Our commitment to educational programs and serving our community has been unwavering for decades and throughout the pandemic. Ticket sales account for just 25% of our revenues and we rely on your continued contributions to fund transformative artistic, music education and community outreach programs that enrich the lives of our residents. As you renew your subscription, please consider making an additional gift to help sustain the New West Symphony for many years to come. Please renew the future of live music in your community!
