​PSO 2026-2027 CONCERT SEASON

 

Celebrating Human emotions

 

October 25

Totentanz with Dr. Michael Munson, piano

It is Autumn, and there are shadowy forces at play! We kick of our season by delving into the darker side of human emotion in three epic works. Featured pieces include Emilie Mayer’s Faust Overture, Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 4 in C minor and the deliciously malevolent Totentanz by Franz Liszt with Dr. Michael Munson, piano soloist.

Spring has sprung, and the Palomar Symphony Orchestra is celebrating by featuring the newest crop of talented musicians. Our sprouting youth orchestra partner, Crescendo Youth Orchestra, directed by Shannon Yandall will kick things off, followed by Shostakovich’s energized Festive Overture, featured ripening Palomar music student performances and finish with Robert Schumann’s first orchestral fruits - Symphony No. 1 (Spring Symphony). Simply delicious!

May 29 

At the age of 20, Felix Mendelssohn embarked on a visit to Great Britain. As he walked through the Scottish countryside, taking in the history and the ruins of that fascinating landscape he heard in his mind the beginning of a noble and mournful introduction. The 3rd symphony was not finished until 13 years later and was the last symphony he finished (but was the 3rd to be published). Join us for our final concert as we explore the nature of inspiration and the mystery of musical creativity.
