Join us for an enchanting night filled with captivating music featuring the UCSB Chamber Orchestra under the leadership of Music Director Maxim Kuzin on Monday, June 5th at 7:30 PM at Lotte Lehmann Concert Hall. The performance commences with Beethoven’s powerful Die Ruinen von Athen (The Ruins of Athens) Overture followed by Felix Mottl’s meticulous arrangement of Gluck’s Ballet Suite No.1, leaving listeners immersed in a charming tapestry woven out of baroque era dance melodies.
 

Don't miss out on the special highlight of the evening -- UCSB composition student Martina Chen’s masterful composition ‘For That Which Has Been Forgotten.’ This short piece promises to be a resonating experience reaching deep into the memories of one's childhood as it connects the past with the modern. The grand finale of the night is Smetana’s thrilling “Vltava” (The Moldau) tone poem; as audiences join a journey down the river, the music invites them to the unforgettable climax of this remarkable evening filled with classical and contemporary music intertwined in perfection.
