BEETHOVEN, BERNSTEIN & BOLERO

the world's most passionate music

Prepare to be seduced! After all, whose pulse doesn’t pound and heart leap in delight as they hear the opening strains to Beethoven’s immortal Ode to Joy with full orchestra and chorus or Leonard Bernstein’s irresistible West Side Story and Candide? As for Bolero, there’s good reason it earned “shouts and cheers from the audience” at its debut in 1929 and has continued to do so forever after…as Cal Phil will once again prove.

Beethoven, Bernstein & Bolero: individually they’re brilliant; together, bedazzling…

L.A. Opera Artist Cedric Berry’s voice and stage presence are beyond compare.  Plácido Domingo notes that Suzanna Guzmán is “an excellent singer and actress and personality...”  Khori Dastoor’s debut as Lucia di Lamermoor was “...the stuff of art.” according to Opera News.  Tenor Kalil Wilson is a 2008 Metropolitan Opera National Audition Finalist—come hear why!
