Santa Barbara Celebration

Our season-long celebration of Santa Barbara’s creative forces continues!

February 27, 2021

Maestro Nir Kabaretti leads the Santa Barbara Symphony and soloists through a program highlighting Santa Barbara’s musical talents. This program will be a tribute to our area medical professionals. Performances include  “State Street” from Bramwell Tovey’s “Santa Barbara Sonata “, Beethoven’s Romance in F Major with Concertmaster Jessica Guideri, the beautiful “Elvira Madigan” movement of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No 21 with local doctor Toni Meyers as soloist, and Mozart’s Symphony No. 29.

Our symphony orchestra musicians are superstars in their own right who have performed on Academy Award winning soundtracks, received top honors in the industry, and played with internationally renowned artists and orchestras. While only one or two of our orchestra musicians might normally be highlighted as a soloist during a normal concert season, this year we are lucky enough to able to shine a spotlight on several of our musical wunderkinds.
