The San Diego Symphony has offered us 20 tickets to their production of Heroic Monuments: DVOŘÁK Symphony No. 7 on Saturday, January 17th at 7:30 PM and Sunday January 18th at 2:00 PM. These tickets are offered on a first come, first served basis. As we normally get more RSVP requests than we have available seats, please help us all out by only requesting what you plan to use and if your plans change let us know ASAP so that we can offer the tickets to someone else.
Please RSVP no later than noon on Sunday, January 11th using the form below. I will send out instructions to receive tickets when I get confirmation back from the Symphony. Tickets are electronic, so your email will be necessary. There will be no physical tickets distributed.
Any RSVP requests in excess will be placed on a waitlist and tickets allocated based on cancellations. If your plans change please let Joe Zilvinskis know at Joe@pozabilities.org or (619) 948-5946.

BRAHMS: Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15
DVOŘÁK: Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Op. 70, B. 141
Music and memory have always been close companions; you cannot have one without the other. Brahms’s First Piano Concerto, a work of symphonic vastness and one of its composer’s greatest masterpieces, was written out of his burning grief at the early death of his mentor Robert Schumann and his desire to write a piece that would preserve the older composer’s memory for ever. Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony sprang from his intense longing for the freedom and independence of his native Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), and his passionate desire to commemorate those brave spirits who sacrificed so much in the cause of their beloved country.
