Diablo Symphony presents “Peter and the Wolf”

Diablo Symphony presents “Peter and the Wolf”

The Diablo Symphony opens its 2024–2025 season on Sunday, October 20, at 2:00 p.m. at Walnut Creek’s Lesher Center for the Arts, with its traditional family concert, this year featuring four composers who explore the colors of the orchestra and use them to paint pictures and tell stories. Different instruments turn into animals and characters in Sergei Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf”; an ogre and rescued princesses are conjured up in Igor Stravinsky’s “Lullaby” and “Finale” from The Firebird; and spaces of beauty, tranquility, and energy are painted in Richard Strauss’s “Sunrise” from Also Sprach Zarathustra and Astor Piazzolla’s flowing tango “Oblivion” (arranged by the DSO’s own Dean Boysen). And winners of the DSO’s Yen Liang Young Artist Competition will perform concerti on their respective instruments, the oboe and the marimba! Cayden Bloomer will perform Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Concerto for Oboe and Strings, sharing the stage with Justin Griffith in Sergei Golovko’s Concerto for Marimba.

Astor Piazzolla (arr. Dean Boysen) – Oblivion
Richard Strauss – “Sunrise” from Also Sprach Zarathustra

“We are very impressed with your Chamber. We have been members of other Chambers over the years and it’s been nothing like the experiences we’re having right out of the gate with your organization. Thank you for your great communication, follow up, and professionalism.”
– Peter Dewey, Bayview Painting

“I couldn’t have asked for a better resource than the Chamber, as I was establishing my medical practice in Lafayette. AJ, Holly, and Sara were so responsive to my questions and gave me many ideas on networking in the community. They host several events that foster community building. I honestly cannot imagine a more robust, active, and friendly chamber as this. I’m a member for life!”
– Cheruba Prabakar, Lamorinda Gynecology & Surgery

“WE LOVE THE CHAMBER! Batch and Brine has been a member of the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce for almost six years. We value and appreciate the incredible amount of work this organization produces for our community through many events and support for each business. The networking and education of information that’s spilled out weekly for the business community is impressive. They are a helping hand in so many ways for our business community and beyond. We couldn’t be part of this community without being part of the chamber. Lafayette Chamber is one of the best organizations we’ve worked with, so don’t think twice about it, join the Chamber!” – Rolla Ghaben, Batch & Brine

“The Chamber was instrumental in helping us open 14 years ago. The staff went out of their way to help us make connections and ensure we were successful. We would not be where we are today without the Chamber!”
– John & Colleen McCormick, Lamorinda Music
