Pacific Chamber Orchestra (PCO) announces its 2021-2022 season will run from July 17, 2021 to March 27, 2022. Music Director Lawrence Kohl is thrilled to debut four live programs on the concert stage in Lamorinda and Livermore for its 32nd season.
The theme for PCO’s first program is ‘Renewal.’ It runs July 17 in Lamorinda at Campolindo Performing Arts Center and July 18 in Livermore at the Bankhead Theater. Kohl chose Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony because it embodies a snapshot of our current emergence from a tempestuous journey to some kind of new normal. At the end of such a journey comes ‘Renewal’ or a return to freshness and vigor.
Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony, also known as the Pastoral, weaves a harmonic background into a stream. The stream reaches a pool alive with a chorus of birdcall. Beethoven penned this note to describe his final movement: “The Shepherd’s Song After the Storm.”
Join in the PCO’s triumphant return to the concert stage and sail with them through musical storms to a peaceful renewal. Tickets are on sale now at www.pacificchamberorchestra.org.
