Symphony San Jose To Present HOPELESSLY ROMANTIC Program This Month
Performances will take place at California Theatre in downtown San Jose.
Symphony San Jose will present Hopelessly Romantic, a program featuring works by Schubert, Sibelius, and Schumann, on Saturday, January 24, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, January 25, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. Performances will take place at California Theatre in downtown San Jose.
The concert opens with **Franz Schubert’s Overture to Rosamunde, originally written for the play Rosamunde, Princess of Cyprus and later adopted into the concert repertoire.
Guest violinist Geneva Lewis will perform **Jean Sibelius’s Violin Concerto, a work known for its lyrical opening, technical demands, and dramatic contrasts. Lewis is recognized for her expressive approach and technical command of the instrument.
The program concludes with **Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 4, a work that reflects Schumann’s integrated symphonic structure and distinctive orchestral voice.
The performances will be conducted by François López-Ferrer.
