What's new?

Our 2007-8 Season! It's an exciting year for the Cal Poly Symphony, as we collaborate with world-class guest soloists, perform brand new music, and finish the year with the Cal Poly Choirs, performing Orff's Carmina Burana. Check out Concerts for more info.

Auditions. Mid-year auditions are still possible if you want to be part of the fun. Placement depends on available space in the ensemble (see Join).

New Collaborations:

The Amelia Piano Trio joined us for our Fall Concert and gave a tremendous premiere of Daron Hagen's Triple Concert. Called “remarkable” by String Magazine and “exemplary” by Strad, the trio’s short history includes performances from Carnegie Hall to Seattle’s Meany Hall, and tours of Central Asia with Yo Yo Ma and his Silk Road Ensemble.

The San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival has begun an exciting collaboration with the Cal Poly Symphony called Classroom Confidential. Music Director Scott Yoo and musicians from the Festival will work with students in a variety of contexts from open rehearsals and "artists’ corners" to sitting in our Symphony and coaching students side-by-side.

Scott has appeared with the Boston Chamber Music Society and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, among others. In addition, Scott is co-founder and Music Director of the Metamorphosen Chamber Orchestra, an ensemble with which he has premiered 47 works by 22 composers and made eight recordings for Archetype, New world, and Sony Classical.

The San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival, founded in 1971, features internationally renowned artists performing a wide variety of music. The Festival presents orchestral and choral performances; jazz, period instrument concerts, chamber music, opera, premieres, world music, and educational programs for children and families.
