About Berkeley Symphony Symphonic IV: Clyne & Strauss 2019


  • 1969: British maestro Adrian Boult's protégé Thomas Rarick debuts the Berkeley Promenade Orchestra—which, in true '60s spirit, performs wearing casual clothes in unconventional settings while being conducted entirely by good vibes.
  • 1978: Kent Nagano takes the reins as music director, heralding such changes as programming focusing on rarely heard 20th-century scores, a switch to formal attire, and a name change.
  • 1984: The orchestra joins forces with Frank Zappa for a critically acclaimed concert featuring elaborate stage sets and life-size puppets.
  • 2003: The orchestra gets a comfortable pullout sofa and therefore its first composer-in-residence: Naomi Sekiya, whose Sinfonia delle Ombre for two guitars and orchestra debuts later that year.
  • 2009: Joana Carneiro becomes the third music director in the orchestra's 40-year history, forging relationships with prominent Bay Area composers such as John Adams, Gabriela Lena Frank, and Paul Dresher.

The performance was exceptional! So grateful I was led to it, and loved it all: cellist, composer, conductor, and orchestra! That said, the seats were appallingly close, literally right below the stage, so that I was overwhelmed by the dust from the orchestra carpet, and started sneezing. Ended up leaving at intermission. Would have preferred an option to pay more and get slightly better seating
