REGULAR SEASON CONCERTS:During the 2021/2022 Season, Berkeley Symphony celebrated its 50th Anniversary Season. The season included new takes on familiar classics from Stravinskys Firebird Suite; to a unique retelling of Prokofievs Peter and the Wolf; to the season finale, where Berkeley Symphony presented Beethovens monumental Ninth Symphony with a brand new libretto by former U.S. Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith. Berkeley Symphony's 50th Anniversary celebration also offered two Berkeley Symphony World Premiere commissions: a celebratory work from Derrick Skye (formerly Spiva Jr.) and a riveting new piece from Berkeley-based composer Jimmy Lpez.
NON-RECURRING CONCERTS AND ACTIVITIES: Berkeley Symphony maintains a strong and important presence in the musical community throughout the year via strategic partnerships with other local arts organizations.
