YPSO continues its season of live performances with the second of four concerts on Saturday Feb 26th, 2022 – culminating in a Central European tour in June 2022! This year we celebrate YPSO’s 85th season and Maestro David Ramadanoff’s 33rd season as Music Director/Conductor. He will be conducting 93 young musicians who range in age from 12 to 19, and hail from many Bay Area cities. Ramadanoff is always thoughtful about selecting music programs that are able to showcase the diversity of talent in the entire orchestra, and he continues this tradition here.
In contrast to the themes of the first concert, this one will delve into themes of contemplation and overcoming– featuring the works of Dmitiri Shostakovich, and two living American composers – Jennifer Higdon and Adolphus Hailstork.
*YPSO will also host a free open dress rehearsal program on Friday Feb 25th, 6:30pm for families with children ages 12 and under, and elementary/middle school classes accompanied by a teacher. Contact YPSO to make arrangements.
*The audience members for this concert and open rehearsal are required to show proof of Covid vaccination unless under age 5, and all must be masked throughout the performance. If you have any symptoms of illness or have had a positive test within the past five days, please do not attend.
