The Pasadena Symphony Association announced the contract renewal of Music Director David Lockington through 2021-22.

Since 2013, Lockington has made the Pasadena Symphony the area’s premiere destination for live symphonic music. Lockington says:

Working with the musicians of the Pasadena Symphony is really refreshing. They are extremely musical; they are sensitive ensemble players and meticulously detail-oriented, and the level of excitement that they bring to the stage for every performance is rare for both me and the audience. I have also enjoyed being part of the community, and always look forward to meeting more people who want to experience live orchestral concerts!

Lockington and the orchestra will conclude their 90th season on Saturday, May 5th with Beethoven! Beethoven! at Ambassador Auditorium (with performances at 2pm and 8pm). The program opens with Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition winner Angelo Xiang Yu bringing his “stupendous technique” (Art Fuse) to the composer’s stunning, virtuosic Violin Concerto, while Lockington will lead the orchestra on Beethoven’s majestic Symphony No. 3, “Eroica” to close out the season.

Pasadena Symphony’s patrons may plan to arrive early for Insights, a pre-concert discussion with Music Director David Lockington that begins one hour prior to curtain.

All concerts are held at Ambassador Auditorium with both matinee and evening performances at 2pm and 8pm. Single tickets start at $35 and may be purchased online at pasadenasymphony-pops.org or by calling (626) 793-7172. A limited number of tickets will be available at the box office on the day of the concert.
