Mozart Rocks April 26 & 27
Tri-Valley Craft Cocktail Competition May 3rd
Passionate, gripping, dazzling, humorous, charming, heartfelt: Mozart captures every tone, every emotion, absolutely perfectly.
From the slapstick humor of the Musical Joke arias and concertos to the towering complete “Jupiter” Symphony, this is the ultimate Mozart Rocks experience to share and treasure.

Review of Concerts September 14 & 15, 2024
Review by Christina Cavallaro
The first concert of the 35th season of the Pacific Chamber Orchestra started off with a bang — or a slap, actually, from a slapstick, which is a symphony percussion instrument that consists of two pieces of wood that are hit together to create a whip cracking sound….
When [soloist Denis] Pascal touched the keys of the Steinway with such majesty, it’s no exaggeration to say that the warmth felt like the light of golden hour had washed over the entire theater…..
Kohl ended the Brahms Symphony No. 3 with a literal self-hug. Facing the orchestra with his back to the audience, he slowly wrapped himself with his own arms to indicate the slow descent, and by the time he was fully enveloped, the orchestra was silent.
