A Message from<br />
Mitchell Sardou Klein<br />
Music Director & Conductor<br />
Peninsula Symphony’s 68th season, Fortissima, celebrates<br />
classical music’s hidden gems, presenting works by four<br />
contemporary American female composers as well as guest<br />
performances by extraordinary soloists from across the country.<br />
These acclaimed artists bridge the gap between traditional<br />
concert halls and popular culture, bringing to life diversity<br />
through music.<br />
From a rising international star on the piano touted as the next<br />
Lang Lang, to a trumpeter bringing this seldom-heard solo<br />
instrument to the forefront of concert halls around the world,<br />
to a popular Bay Area trio of home-grown entrepreneurs, this<br />
season will inspire you <strong>with</strong> a range of dimension that only<br />
classical music can offer.<br />
Our orchestra will transport you around the world and<br />
beyond <strong>with</strong> classics like Rimsky-Korsakov’s<br />
Scheherazade, Elgar’s Enigma Variations, and<br />
Holst’s The Planets.<br />
We look forward to sharing these incredible<br />
experiences <strong>with</strong> you!<br />

everyone was talking<br />
about last season.

CONRAD TAO<br />
Kicking off our exciting 20<strong>16</strong>/<strong>17</strong> season is Conrad<br />
Tao, a pianist and composer who has been<br />
dubbed a musician of “probing intellect and<br />
open-hearted vision” by the New York Times.<br />
He will be performing the deeply personal and<br />
thrilling Schumann Piano Concerto in a program<br />
that concludes <strong>with</strong> Elgar’s passionate Enigma<br />
Variations, his masterful love song to his wife<br />
and dearest friends. Tao received a YoungArts<br />
gold medal in music, a Gilmore Young Artist<br />
award, and is a Presidential Scholar in the Arts.<br />
The stage is set for this young pianist to take the<br />
music world by storm and we are delighted to<br />
have him join us for our season opener!<br />
