But anyone wondering if this 116-year-old orchestra \u2026 is considering kicking back even a tiny bit with its upcoming 2026-27 season \u2026 should think again\u2026. Nine soloists and six conductors will give their San Diego Symphony debut performances between October and next June.\u201d Rafael Payare is the orchestra\u2019s music director. \u201cThe orchestra\u2019s repertoire will include 15 concertos and 13 symphonies \u2026 and the ninth symphonies by Beethoven, Bruckner and Dvo\u0159\u00e1k. No fewer than 15 pieces of music will be performed by the symphony for the first time. Four of them are by living composers, including the world premiere of Symphony No. 6, \u2018Monarch,\u2019 by the orchestra\u2019s composer-in-residence Jimmy L\u00f3pez, which was co-commissioned by the San Diego Symphony\u2026. The 2026-27 lineup includes a varied mix of new and returning guest artists, including cello great Alisa Weilerstein (who is Payare\u2019s wife) and piano stars Yefim Bronfman and Daniil Trifonov. Three of the soloists are longtime symphony members: concertmaster Jeff Thayer, principal English horn player Andrea Overturf and harpist Julie Phillips.\u201d The article lists the entire 2026-27 classical season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Sunday\u2019s (2\/1) San Diego Union-Tribune, George Varga writes, \u201cIt has been three years since the San Diego&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":561425,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5134],"tags":[5229,245190,1582,276,181801,102418,3717,77740,3549,7264,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-561424","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-artistic-planning","10":"tag-ca","11":"tag-california","12":"tag-composers","13":"tag-conductors","14":"tag-musicians","15":"tag-repertoire","16":"tag-san-diego","17":"tag-sandiego","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-united-states-of-america","20":"tag-unitedstates","21":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","22":"tag-us","23":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116002314577941270","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=561424"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561424\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/561425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=561424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=561424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=561424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
