Description

Step into a night of raw emotion, cultural reflection, and musical transformation. Our program opens with MyGreat Dream, an original work by Los Angeles-based composer Juan Pablo Contreras. Commissioned to honor the immigrant experience, this vibrant piece blends the heart of Latin American musical traditions with the energy of contemporary symphonic writing—capturing the dreams, challenges, and triumphs of those who forge new lives in new lands.

Next, we turn to Arnold Schoenberg’s deeply evocative Pelléas und Mélisande, a lush symphonic poem that brings Maeterlinck’s mysterious love story to life with sweeping orchestral color and emotional depth.

The evening culminates in the visceral force of Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. Still astonishing more than a century after its explosive premiere, this revolutionary masterpiece pulses with primal rhythm, dissonance, and ritual intensity. Brace yourselves for a powerful, immersive finale that challenges, provokes, and ultimately transforms.
