🎶 Walnut Creek – The lobby at the California Symphony is always buzzing with pre-concert activities, and November’s concert was especially exciting thanks to Classical California KDFC’s Glissando Listening Experience!

Kids were pulling up bean bag chairs, popping on wireless headphones 🎧 and immersing themselves in themed classical music! With coloring sheets and space to create art inspired by the music, it was fun for all ages! 🎨✨ Thank you to Classical California KDFC for making this interactive experience possible!

👉 Follow for more unique concert experiences! 🎼

Here was another imaginative California Symphony production masterminded by Cabrera.

California Symphony Leaves the Strings at Home

“It’s been on my wish list for a while — and now we’re finally doing it. It’s such a joyous, celebratory piece.”—Concertmaster Jennifer Cho

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.

SF Chronicle

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.

Dave Halligan from Berkeley

Hella fun

SF Classical Voice

It's one of the great pleasures of life, attending an evening at the California Symphony.

One of the region's most vibrant musical attractions.

Just a phenomenal performance. It will remain in my memory for the ages.

The entire evening was fabulous. I especially liked and appreciated the brief introduction remarks by the conductor. Just a wonderful musical experience!

Barbara C., Patron

An intriguing mixture of the familiar, the newly-revived, and the new.

SF Classical Voice

Donato Cabrera has elevated the organization to one of the region's most progressive and consistently interesting outfits.

Mercury News

They take the stuffy edge out of the symphony.

Mike Elmore, Board Member

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.
