2022/23 Masterpiece Series

Our season opener is an irresistible pairing of beloved classics and mind-blowing new talent. Winner of the Cape Symphony’s 2019 International Online Violin Concerto Competition, violinist Clarissa Bevilacqua has enchanted audiences with her fierce technical skills and deeply inspiring musicality. We’re thrilled to share her talents with the Cape!

Tchaikovsky. Mozart. Everything you want…. and more.

Do you remember what brought you to love the symphony? Or the sights, sounds, and smells of your first experience in the concert hall? This performance embraces the innocence of youth and the essence of why we are captivated by classical music.

Let us bring you home.

The Romantic Era marked the ascendancy of classical composers as rock stars. Titans such as Wagner, Liszt, Schumann, and Brahms revolutionized the art of live performance, seducing audiences with their unbridled talent and charisma. Get your all-access pass to this expansive era and its heaviest hitters.

Epic doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Authentic voices. Brilliant storytelling. Unforgettable artistry. These are the hallmarks of our PASSPORT series. In 2023, you’ll travel to the land “down under” and revel in the Aboriginal art, performance, and culture that helped shape music throughout the world. Lauded Australian conductor Carolyn Watson and didgeridoo virtuoso William Barton grace the stage for this bold and provocative musical journey.

Pack wisely. You may never want to leave.

Our grand finale of the 2022-2023 Masterpiece season allows the music do what it does best...tell the story (or 1001 stories, to be exact) of Scheherazade with a lush score by Rimsky-Korsakov. In partnership with public radio’s The Moth Radio Hour, we will also create a new Scheherazade experience with a modern story and score. This intoxicating program features works that evoke the richness of Middle Eastern culture and the women who understood the value of intellect, the power of grace, and the art of storytelling.

Open sesame.
