Symphony San Jose To Present HOPELESSLY ROMANTIC In January
Program features works by Schubert, Sibelius, and Schumann at The California Theatre.
Symphony San Jose will present HOPELESSLY ROMANTIC, a concert program highlighting major works of the Romantic repertoire, at The California Theatre in downtown San Jose.
The performances will include Franz Schubert’s Overture to Rosamunde, Jean Sibelius’ Violin Concerto, and Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 4. Guest violinist Geneva Lewis will appear as soloist, with François López-Ferrer conducting.
The evening will open with Schubert’s Overture to Rosamunde, originally composed for the play Rosamunde, Princess of Cyprus and now a staple of the concert repertoire. Sibelius’ Violin Concerto will follow, featuring Lewis as soloist, tracing the work’s progression from its atmospheric opening to its demanding final movement. The program will conclude with Schumann’s Symphony No. 4, a work known for its interconnected movements and distinctive orchestral writing.
An additional pre-concert event, Music Notes, will take place one hour before each performance in the main auditorium. The session will include discussion, contextual background, and insights related to the program and will be offered at no additional cost to ticket holders.
