Attention ! Watch for this!

Vladimir Khalikulov to perform !

This coming weekend, April 24-26, Monterey Symphony Orchestra will present an absolutely rare and unique program. For the first time ever in the 64-year history of the orchestra there will be no violin section at the concert. It is a fantastic opportunity for the viola section to lead the orchestra.
There will be one solo violin in two movements of Faure. The Artistic Director of Ensemble La Campanella and Principal Viola of Monterey Symphony, Vladimir Khalikulov, will lead the orchestra as violist and concertmaster, for the first time in his 40-year career.
The program includes a Schubert song for lower strings and fifty male voices, set to a Goethe poem "Die Geister uber den Wassern" (The Souls on the Water), a rarely performed gem. The winds and lower strings, led by the violas, will then perform the Serenade no. 2 in A major by Brahms. Brahms was especially fond of the viola and wrote many chamber pieces and solo works for the viola. This is a unique opportunity to hear this splendid symphonic work.
The heavenly Faure Requiem will be performed by winds and lower strings, with a chorus of 150 voices and soloists. It is possible that all these pieces in one program have never been presented in one concert in any orchestra in the world. We are proud to be part of this event. All information is available at the Symphony website, www.montereysymphony.org.
