On a High Note
SUNSET CENTER will celebrate the genius of four of classical music's greatest composers when the Monterey Symphony performs Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m.
The instrumentalists will be joined by VOLTI on two pieces.
"Monterey Symphony embarks on a long-awaited choral collaboration, presenting Mozart's miniature masterpiece 'Ave verum corpus' and Schubert's radiant Mass in G major," said Jayce Ogren, the symphony's music director and conductor. "For the Schubert, we have the honor of welcoming renowned vocal soloists Deanna Breiwick, Alek Shrader and Andrew Garland."
The program also includes Haydn's Symphony No. 104 and Mendelssohn's "Hebrides Overture."
Musicologist Christopher Anderson-Bazzoli will present a pre-concert talk Saturday at 6:30 p.m., while Ogren will do the same Sunday at 2 p.m. Also, the symhony's principal flutist Dawn Walker, will perform in the Sunset Center lobby before Sunday's concert.
Tickets for general admission start at $50, while students, teachers and military members can attend for $12. Sunset Center is located at San Carlos Street and Ninth Avenue. Details at (831) 646-8511 and montereysymphony.org.
