Description

Berkeley Symphony Orchestra celebrates 40 years of music-making in 2009. This season, Berkeley Symphony welcomes 33-year-old Lisbon native Joana Carneiro as only the third Music Director in its history.

Berkeley Symphony presents a 4-concert subscription series at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall, presenting what the San Francisco Chronicle calls “a canny blend of traditional repertoire with well-judged contemporary offerings. In addition, Berkeley Symphony supports local composers through its informal Under Construction new music series at St. John’s Presbyterian Church. Berkeley Symphony also serves every public elementary school in Berkeley with its year-long, award-winning Music in the Schools Program, which provides every student with the experience of becoming a performer.
