Our Fourth Concert at our new venue Valley Center for the Performing Arts (formerly Holy Names University), 3500 Mountain Blvd. Oakland, just off Highway 13 at Redwood Road, is set for Sunday, March 22 at 3PM. Parking is plentiful (parking map). We will perform two exciting works by the celebrated American Composer Leonard Bernstein—his Overture to Candide and the Divertimento for Orchestra. Both of these exciting works are MUST HEARS. We continue with the American composer theme with Samuel Barber's beautiful and demanding Violin Concerto performed by our Khuner Young Soloist Concerto Competition Co-winner Kate Vo. Come hear these great works of 20th Century American composers.

Since 1965, Prometheus Symphony Orchestra has offered five or more concerts, with no admission charge. Our excellent musicians—life-long amateur players and former professional musicians—share a passion for great symphonic music. We feature great composers from the Classical, Romantic and Modern periods—both fan favorites and composers you might not yet be familiar with. And our Khuner Young Artist Concerto Competition discovers gifted young musicians who perform with the orchestra each season and often go on to international careers.

While our concerts are always free, we do rely on donations from both our musicians and our audience. You can donate when you reserve your tickets on this site, on our website, or in person at a concert. We have a wonderful Donor Rewards program, based on your contribution level, which you can see on our website. We gratefully thank everyone for all your contributions!

Concerts are customarily on Sunday afternoons to encourage families and seniors to attend. Many of our concerts are recorded and available on our website: PrometheusSymphony.org
