The Monterey Symphony with student musicians from the Youth Music Monterey Honors Orchestra took the stage for a performance of Tchaikovsky’s Second Symphony last weekend in Salinas at the Steinbeck Institute for Art & Culture. According to program director Vanisha Evans Douvon, the young musicians took special effort to be prepared to play side-by-side the professional musicians on the challenging, four-movement symphony.
As an added bonus, American Ballet Theatre corps member Julio Bragado-Young performed in George Gershwin’s “Who Cares?" Bragado-Young is son of Maestro Bragado-Darman, the symphony's leader.
Rave reviews have come in, which means you're probably feeling a bit disappointed you missed the show -- like I do. Not to despair, YMM has lots of events throughout the year, so be sure to catch the next one. Here's their website for more information.
