- Music Director Donato Cabrera describes the Reich Duet as a kind of update on The Four Seasons. It features a soloist (Alexi Kenney) plus a secondary soloist (Jennifer Cho) playing with strings, just like the Vivaldi piece.
- Alexi Kenney returns to his native Bay Area after an acclaimed 2018 debut with the California Symphony to lead Vivaldi’s Four Seasons in true Baroque-style, sans conductor, in this all-strings concert.
- George Walker was the first African-American composer to win a Pulitzer Prize. Lyric for Strings is Walker’s best known and most-performed work.
