CONCERT #2 OF THE 2018-2019 SEASON OF THE MONTEREY SYMPHONY IS TITLED “SOUND WAVES,” AND IT WILL TAKE PLACE ON NOVEMBER 17-18.

At the Sunset Center in Carmel, the Monterey Symphony will continue its 2018-19 Season, which is titled “Sound Waves,” with concert number two on November 17-18. On October 26, 2018, in Monterey, California — The second performance of the Monterey Symphony’s 2018-19 Season, titled “Sound Waves,” will take place on November 17-18 at the Sunset Center in Carmel. This concert will feature renowned flute Carol Wincenc playing with members of the Youth Music Monterey County Honors Orchestra. The great flautist M. Holger-Gilbert Jespersen was the inspiration for Carl Nielsen’s “Flute Concerto,” which was written in 1926. Wincenc, who is a professor of flute at Juilliard, is a member of the orchestra for this performance. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4, Op. 36, which is sometimes referred to as the “Fate” symphony due to the grim overtones, is the main attraction for the second concert of the season. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5, which was composed in the shadow of Beethoven’s masterpiece Symphony No. 5, recalls the sorrow of the great master in this significant piece of symphonic music. Overture, Le corsaire, Op. 21 by Hector Berlioz, which, like the Tchaikovsky symphony, was also created during a moment of profound sorrow, will also be performed by members of the Youth Music Monterey County Honors Orchestra. These musicians will perform the piece side-by-side. Pre-concert talks will be held in the Hall of Sunset Center. These lectures will take place one hour before each performance that takes place throughout the season. The concert that took place on Saturday, November 17 will be aired on KAZU on both Saturday, December 1 at 4:00 p.m. and Sunday, December 2 at the same time. The Monterey Symphony will hold all of its concerts during the 2018-19 season at the Sunset Center in Carmel. Max Bragado-Darman, the Symphony Music Director, will be the conductor for all of the concerts, with the exception of concert number four, which will take place on March 16-17, 2019, and will be conducted by Jung-Ho Pak as a guest conductor. Every concert that takes place throughout the season will take place at Sunset Center on Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and on Sundays at 3:00 p.m. In addition, over the course of each performance season, special events are arranged to raise money for the Monterey Symphony orchestra, which is a nonprofit organization, and to give opportunity for fans of the Symphony to engage in educational and social activities. During this season, there will be a music course and a talk with a composer, as well as an opening night celebration, luncheons with the Friends of the Monterey Symphony, supper clubs at the top restaurants in the area, and a Gala by the Bay at the Monterey Bay Aquarium on May 3, 2019.
