“We are thrilled to bring our Santa Barbara community a rich and culturally expansive experience. Beloved masterworks of Mozart, Brahms, Dvořák, and Tchaikovsky will be heard alongside the cabaret vocals of Storm Large, a centennial cinematic classic with Charles Chaplin, and more, featuring extraordinary guest artists, including our own musicians,” said Nir Kabaretti, the symphony’s music and artistic director.

“The symphony has so much to say this season that our traditional schedule can’t contain it all. January 18 and 19, 2025 will present a Mozart Marathon with four masterworks on Saturday and another four on Sunday,” said Kathryn R Martin, symphony president/CEO.

“To close the season, the legendary Gil Shaham will be in residence performing three different concertos over two days, including a world premiere, featuring his wife, violinist Adele Anthony,” she said

“Collaborations will shine the spotlight on the exemplary choruses here in Santa Barbara, and artist residencies will create once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for our local students,” Martin said.
