31st SEASON FINALE

Dear Friends and Supporters,

The Alhambra Orchestra, founded in 1990, has a mission of promoting classical music and music education. It is a self-governing, independent nonprofit. All of its management, and most of its musicians, are volunteers, and nearly all of its performances are free so that everyone in our community can enjoy great music. In this 31st

performing season, the orchestra has been producing videos to fulfill its mission during the global pandemic, until it becomes safe to assemble a full orchestra with audience.

For this special event, we are ecstatic to present masterworks by four great melodists, including a sparkling concerto by a youthful Felix Mendelssohn. A perfect conclusion to the conclusion of our season. We hope you enjoy it!

We look forward to Seeing You At The Online Premier! Alhambra Orchestra Board, Officers, and Musicians

Alhambra Orchestra Digital Concert SeriesBREATHTAKING WORKS FOR A HEART-POUNDING SEASON FINALE

A CELEBRATION 31 YEARS IN THE MAKING

Join your Alhambra Orchestra for a virtual

season finale of gigantic proportions. Our

Season Finale Concert concludes with a

crafted and finely detailed performance by

Maestro Daniel Andai and Ciro Fodere as the

soloists for Mendelssohn’s “Double Concerto,”

accompanied by Alhambra Orchestra strings.

Adding to the excitement of the program,

enjoy a powerful and celebratory performance

of one of the most recognizable of Mozart’s

chamber works, the Quintet for Piano and

Winds, and two lovely string orchestra works:

“Chrysanthemums” by Puccini and “Andante

Festivo” by Sibelius.

This spectacular finale serves to put the

perfect ending to a rather unconventional 31st

season of the Alhambra Orchestra. Join us in

celebrating the culmination of a phenomenal

online virtual series season!
