The festival’s 29th season begins with incredible performances and a few surprises.

Festival Opera makes a comeback with its contemporary production of Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos.

Cellist Arnold Choi performed four works, three unaccompanied, at the festival’s new venue in downtown San Jose.

The Philharmonic’s performance marks the beginning of a new era for the orchestra.

A transfixing performance by the dramatic soprano and great work from the chorus were the selling points for the Symphony's cap to the Beethoven Festival.

The annual event, commemorating the summer solstice, brings together over 40 groups for a unique experience.

The festival, which paid tribute to composer Pierre Boulez, featured atmospheric performances held outdoors as well as an emphasis on percussion.

A trio (plus some friends) provided excitement in a party of French chamber music.

The four-and-a-half-hour marathon had everything except the composer himself.

Nuances of the performance were lost to the unforgiving acoustics of the Rodin Gallery at the Palace of the Legion of Honor, but the musicians’ camaraderie shone through.
