Berkeley Symphony Orchestra plays Piazzolla & Shostakovich!

This will be a sweet walk down memory lane for Erica. The last time she played Shosty 5 was on a youth orchestra tour to New Zealand and Australia… in 2000! It’s a lot of fun, and is filled with hidden messages from the composer.

It will also be a bittersweet farewell for the orchestra, as Maestro Joseph Young makes his final performance as conductor.

Pre-concert talk at 3pm.

Tickets here.
