Symphony's Finale
Pianist Joyce Yang joins Monterey Symphony when it per- forms Saturday and Sunday at Sunset Center.
On a High Note
Monterey Symphony wraps up its 79th season Saturday, 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, 2 p.m., at Sunset Center with Rachmaninoff's enduring Piano Concerto No. 2.
"We close our season with one of the most beloved and powerful pieces of classical music, featuring the Monterey Symphony debut of star pianist Joyce Yang," music director and conductor Jayce Ogren said.
The program also includes Tchaikovsky's Melodie, Ogren's Intertidal, and early 20th century Italian composer Ottorino Respighi's The Fountains of Rome and The Pines of Rome. The symphony's president and CEO, Nicola Reilly, will be featured as a violin soloist when the orchestra plays the piece by Tchaikovsky.
Symphony concertmaster Christina Mok and cellist Saul Richmond-Rackerd will play in the lobby before each concert.
Tickets for general admission start at $45, while tickets for students, teachers and military are $12. Sunset Center is located at San Carlos and Ninth. Call (831) 646-8511 or visit montereysymphony.org
