January 31 & February 1, 2026

Frank Zappa - Dupree’s Paradise

Adam Schoenberg - Automation 

Hannah Wolkowitz- World Premiere 

Ferruccio Busoni - Berceuse Elegiaque 

Jean Sibelius - Symphony No. 7 

The iconic Frank Zappa (yes, that Frank Zappa) spent some of his youth here in San Diego, where he discovered the modernist music that inspired his own compositions and shaped his legendary style. Busoni and Sibelius, two masters of the 20th century, are featured alongside two living composers: a world premiere by emerging composer Hannah Wolkowitz, and a recent work by Adam Schoenberg, whose cello concerto Automation explores the complicated relationship between humans and technology.
