Wagner: Lohengrin Prelude to Act I
Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake Suite
Schubert: Rosamunde Overture
Strauss: Death and Transfiguration
Matilda Hofman, guest conductor
Join the symphony and guest conductor Matilda Hofman for an evening of magic and transformation. Wagner’s ethereal prelude to Lohengrin and Tchaikovsky’s hauntingly beautiful Swan Lake are connected by themes of sorcery, redemption, forbidden questions, and swan transformations. The Rosamunde overture is quintessential Schubert, and involves the transformation of a poor shepherdess into a queen. Strauss’s early tone poem Death and Transfiguration is preoccupied with late romantic obsessions of the individual who, struggling with the world, is finally redeemed. Music director of the Diablo Symphony, Matilda Hofman has a busy schedule in California and abroad. She works regularly with Empyrean Ensemble, the Early Music Ensemble at Davis, and the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble. She studied at Cambridge University, the Royal Academy of Music, and the Eastman School of Music, and was a conducting fellow at the Aspen Music Festival and school.

Nuclear Weapons: They’re Back
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the USA seemed to be emerging from a
vulnerability to dramatic destruction that it had lived with during the four
decades of the Cold War. Two decades later we find ourselves in a world with
nuclear weapons once again gaining a disturbing salience.
The theory of deterrence for security purposes has new complexities.
Ambassador Robert L. Gallucci, distinguished academic and diplomat, speaks
from his multifaceted career in foreign affairs and public service,
including years of leading negotiations with North Korea. He will share
insight and new perspectives on this reemerging global concern.

exhilarating musical showcase, the San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers led by
Alasdair Frasier bring the rich and authentic music of the Scottish
highlands to life. Honoring the tradition of playing by ear, they follow the
spontaneous evolution of the melody wherever it leads. Sweetly lyrical or
