Orchestra Santa Monica: “Musical Return and Gathering”

Orchestra Santa Monica and Music Director Roger Kalia return to live performance with a special admission-free concert.  The orchestra will present an early preview of its collaborative film, “We Gather:  Black Life in Santa Monica told through Music, Visuals, and Narrative”.  A novel arrangement of Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 for 15 musicians will also be performed, providing an intimate feel to the listening experience and revealing Mahler’s chamber-like writing as each musician is treated as a soloist.
