No music is more full of joy and passion than Mariachi and on September 24 (Chico) and 25 (Redding) North State Symphony welcomes Los Angeles based Mariachi Garibaldi de Jamie Cuellar in a celebration of Latin composers. The three-time GRAMMY winning ensemble tours widely and will join Scott and Musicians exploring works by Arturo Marquez, Juventino, Rosas, and many more.

On November 12 (Redding) and 13 (Chico) violinist Chee-Yun joins your symphony to perform the popular Four Seasons by Antonio Vilvaldi. In a unique pairing the symphony will also perform Astor Piazzolla’s the Four Seasons of Buenos Aires in the style of the Argentinian tango.

A concert titled Haydn’s Drumroll features works by Saint-Saens, Schubert, Telemann, and Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 103 “Drumroll” as the anchor. This dazzling concert February 11 (Chico) and 12 (Redding) will feature the recipients of the North State Symphony’s 2022 Young Artist Awards and the MTAC Youth Orchestra and the Shasta College Youth Strings.

North State Symphony’s annual young audience concert will feature Paul Dooley’s The Conductor’s Spellbook in which young Tony Stradivarius discovers a book of spells and uses it to fantastically control the orchestra. March 7 (Chico), 8 (Red Bluff), and 9 (Redding).

The Experience Joy season comes to extravagant close on May 13 (Redding) and May 14 (Chico) with blazing pianist Charlie Albright performing Rachmaninoff’s prodigious Piano Concerto No. 2.
