ATTEND OUR NEXT CONCERT
The
Marin Symphony season (October through May) consists of twelve concerts
offering six programs of meticulously selected and performed classical
music. Our featured works range from time-honored classical favorites
to today's most fresh and innovative compositions.
The guest
soloists we draw typically
have attained worldwide renown, and are frequently regarded as some
of the most exciting and up-and-coming
of today's musical artists.
Our Maestro,
Alasdair Neale, is quickly earning an international reputation for
masterfully
insightful and precise interpretations of the classical music repertoire.
Consistently, he creates programs with powerful appeal to today's audiences.
Standing ovations are not uncommon!
