Come hear the debut of the classical component of the world-renowned Berkeley High music program, in a stunning showcase for its talented young players. The evening features an array of small groupings (brass choir to string quartet to solos and duets) by musicians from Berkeley High School’s orchestra and band programs.

These groups have been invited to perform at Walt Disney Hall this summer, as part of the Los Angeles International Music Festival. Tonight’s concert is a fundraiser for the trip scholarship fund. These are Berkeley High students, so expect the unexpected. The repertoire is sure to include classical favorites, such as Beethoven and Shostakovich string quartets but you will also hear some surprising, less-familiar gems. (Cole Porter string quartets anyone?)
