Dear Friends and Fellow Music-Lovers,
 
Welcome to Symphony Viva’s 2021-2022 season! Following an unprecedented year of outdoor concerts, we are thrilled to be returning indoors for an exciting slate of orchestral and ballet performances in the coming months.
 
This season’s concerts highlight the breadth and depth of the orchestral canon and our musicians’ talents: from Rimsky-Korsakov’s scintillatingly virtuosic Capriccio Espagnol, to Ravel’s enchanting Mother Goose Suite, to contemporary American composer Roger Zare’s riveting work Lift-Off, we know this year’s programs will engage you (and your ears) in both new and meaningful ways. We are also excited to welcome several gifted guest soloists to the stage throughout our season, including guitarist Johnny Peña, mezzo soprano Jacquelyn Matava, and pianist Carolyn True. And of course, Viva continues its exciting collaborations with our artistic partners, the Alamo City Dance Company, in brand-new ballet productions of El amor brujo, The Nutcracker, and La Bayadère.
 
Explore our concerts, guest soloists, and order your tickets under the “Symphony Viva- 2021-2022 Season” tab above. We look forward to welcoming you back for our first performance this November at the Scottish Rite Theatre and can’t wait to share this season of music-making with you!
 
Musically Yours,
 
Joseph Kneer
Music Director and Conductor
