Countryside to Cosmos

 

Memorial Day weekend calls many of us outdoors — but this year, we invite you to trade the traffic for a Sunday afternoon of music that brings the natural world right to you. We’re bringing our 25-26 season at the Hammer Theatre to a close with music from the Baroque era to the present day, celebrating the human spirit and our profound connection with nature.

 

“Each composer uses orchestral color and atmosphere to create a vivid soundscape that transports the audience beyond the concert hall,” says MCOSJ Music Director, Juan Cristóbal Palacios.

 

In a world that can feel overwhelming, this concert offers an afternoon of beauty, connection, and hope — in the convenient heart of downtown San Jose. We’re keeping our ticket prices affordable, and our “pay what you can afford” option means everyone can attend.
