We’re closing the season with something special ✨

Brilliant Bartók is bold, joyful, and full of energy — the kind of piece that reminds you why live music matters. Every section of the Symphony gets its moment to shine, and the result is electric 🎶

We’re also thrilled to welcome violinist Keila Wakao, winner of the Yehudi Menuhin Violin Competition, for Mendelssohn’s beloved Violin Concerto in E minor. It’s one of those pieces that never gets old — soaring, passionate, and unforgettable 🎻

Come celebrate the finale with us 💙

📍 March 28, 2026 | Redding | 7:30 p.m.
📍 March 29, 2026 | Chico | 2 p.m.
