California Symphony’s first concerts of 2025, conducted by Artistic and Music Director Donato Cabrera, combine a calming meditation by composer Carlos Simon, a world-famous Spanish guitar concerto by Joaquin Rodrigo, and Mozart’s classical grandeur. Inspired by the words of theologian Howard Thurman, Simons’ Breathe is a serene appeal to “stay put for a while.” Rodrigo’s iconic Concierto de Aranjuez, performed with the stunningly virtuosic guitarist Meng Su, transports listeners to another time and place. A majestic, exuberant masterpiece, Mozart’s final symphony, Symphony No. 41, is one of his most celebrated works, showcasing a genius at the height of his powers.
