The Granada Theatre

OPENING WEEKEND Rachmaninoff’s Second Concerto Saturday, October 24, 2026 | 7:30 PM Sunday, October 25, 2026 | 3:00 PM The Granada Theatre
Plagued by self-doubt, Sergei Rachmaninoff had abandoned his music. When inspiration returned, he poured every ounce of longing and triumph into the concerto that made him immortal. Grammy Award-winning pianist Michelle Cann brings it to life. "She displayed her own powerful technique," raved Washington Classical Review. Nir Kabaretti also conducts Shostakovich's Fifth —a stirring masterpiece of courage, conflict, and survival.

Step inside the fevered imagination of Hector Berlioz as Nir Kabaretti leads the Symphonie fantastique — music so vivid, so unhinged, it shocked the world in 1830 and still does today. Plus Santa Barbara Symphony Chorus in Poulenc's radiant Gloria, and Debussy's shimmering Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun.Go beyond the music with Conversations with Classical California!
