Come and enjoy the Symphony's first concert of the 2023/2024 season, A Kaleidoscope of Favorite Tunes on Saturday, November 18 at 4 PM at the Cordova High Performing Arts Center. It's FREE!

The concert features a variety of terrific musical favorites. Featured are What’s Up At the Symphony? with cartoon themes you will recognize — as well as some Beatles music. You will also hear W.C. Handy’s St. Louis Blues, featuring our knockout trumpet section, and an arrangement of Aaron Copeland’s Variations on a Shaker Melody from Appalachian Spring. Also, a familiar favorite will be the captivating second movement of Dvorak's New World Symphony, distinguished by its exquisite and lyrical qualities.

Finally, the centerpiece of our concert, and destined to become a Rancho Cordova favorite, is City Portraits by our Composer in Residence, Carlos McMillan Fuentes. The symphony commissioned "City Portraits" to celebrate and honor Rancho Cordova’s 20th anniversary in 2023. The suite features three movements which celebrate the people of Rancho Cordova: their pioneering spirit; sense of adventure; commercial daring; and artistic vision.

This event takes place in the City of Rancho Cordova, which is part of the Sacramento region.
