You are invited to our exclusive, complimentary afternoon of conversation and performances with New West Symphony’s newest principal players Sukyung Chun, Principal Double Bass, and Hiram Rodriguez, Principal Trombone. As with our last Meet the Artists Enluis Montes Olivar and Ifetayo Ali-Landing, Sukyung and Hiram are part of the dynamic next generation of great classical music performers. Both players are highly sought-after musicians, with extensive education and experience in a variety of professional orchestras and other styles of music.

Music Director Michael Christie will explore how our upcoming concert composers, Berlioz and Bates, both showcase what orchestras can do with instruments to create the groundbreaking pieces that are included in our Symphonie Fantastique concert.
