🎶 Walnut Creek – Ever wondered what a professional bassoonist keeps in their case? 🎒✨ Watch as Anne, one of our talented musicians, reveals her must-haves: a raincoat for her bassoon, spare reeds (just in case 😉), and, surprisingly, so many knives (for reed making of course!) 🔪 Curious to see what else is inside?

The chemistry between soloist and conductor was evident at every point, as Cabrera’s supple baton beautifully telegraphed Chan’s moves to the orchestra.

Walnut Creek has a genuine civic treasure with this orchestra.

It's a great orchestra. A great venue. If I could be part of one musical community in the Bay Area, the California Symphony would be it.

They take the stuffy edge out of the symphony.

California Symphony certainly breaks the mold, as they expand their audiences for a much more inclusive environment so that everyone, of all socioeconomic classes, can enjoy.
