2025 Masterpiece Series
A Symphonic Odyssey
Bank of America Performing Arts Center, Thousand Oaks
Sunday, January 26, 2025 at 3 PM
Rancho Campana Performing Arts Center, Camarillo
A 30th Anniversary Season of marvelous journeys – A Symphonic Odyssey – begins! Tchaikovsky’s “irrepressible fate” takes listeners to ecstatic heights in his Fourth Symphony. Resonating Lands, a world premiere written for multi-instrumentalist Hong Wang by Guggenheim Fellow Kui Dong, celebrates the Chinese Lunar New Year. 2025 is the year of the Wood Snake, a time for growth, creativity and introspection. Ligeti’s rustic, folk-infused Concert Românesc dances through the countryside, while music from Apollo 13 and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial reflects the enormity of outer space.
