Great performances mark Left Coast Chamber Ensemble’s ambitious program of two new Kurt Rhode operas.

The S.F. Symphony gave a stellar account of a 20th-century masterwork, and Joshua Roman carried Dvorak’s Cello Concerto.

The cellist and performer/composer collaborate in a fresh, wide-ranging program.

The young violinist plays a thrilling Mendelssohn concerto in perfect synch with the S.F. Symphony

Aficionados celebrate an eclectic range of new (and even old) electronic music at the 18th annual festival.

Sometimes concert extras don’t add that much.

George Lewis’s Afterword, an opera has an original premise, and some beautiful music, but there’s one big fly in the ointment.

Strong new music performed by Splinter Reeds, Kronos Quartet, and Ramon & Jessica’s sextet highlight a solid program.

Catherine Cook and the Music of Remembrance Ensemble deliver powerful music inspired by Holocaust horrors.

In one of her final concerts with the ensemble, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg leads a program of NCCO-commissioned works, including a standout composition by Ellen Taaffe Zwilich.
