Symphony Silicon Valley

Together Again!    Season Announcement, 20th Anniversary, 2021-2022

October 2021 through June, 2022

SSV’s 20th Anniversary Season celebrates the return of a full season of Classical Concerts, Holiday Programing, Films in Concert, and the return of ArtSPARK, our Educational Outreach Program. The season offers beloved favorites and new works, dances and revels, a quintet of superb conductors, seven concerto artists, composers from Vivaldi to Bernstein, a celebration of Beethoven’s 251st anniversary and the incomparable Mozart composing while cavorting on the big screen.

A Message from our General Director, Andrew Bales

“Returning from our forced hiatus we have a season full of major works and new treasures. We are honored to open our season premiering Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz’ latest work D’Colonial Californio.

 Beethoven’s 250th anniversary was last December, but we will not let that stop us from celebrating his 251st all season long. Symphonies and Jon Nakamatsu-performed concertos enhance the season. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the California Theatre for a musical reunion.

We will celebrate our 20th Anniversary season in honor of Bob Kieve, a long-time sponsor and trustee of the Symphony. This season has repertory that Bob would call boffo – grand musical triumphs.”

                                                              — Andrew Bales

A SPECIAL NOTE: Safety First!

We all want to return to the concert hall and hear great music, but under what conditions?

Symphony Silicon Valley’s first priority is that every patron attending a symphony concert should feel safe and secure. SSV’s policy is that each ticket holder must attest to being fully VACCINATED against COVID-19 prior to attending. This policy holds for both the buyer and guests. This policy will be revisited as conditions evolve. It does not apply to children 12 and under.
