April 11 – “Romantic Gems” Downey Symphony concert & Rebirth art exhibit
Downey Symphony Orchestra closes their season on Saturday, April 11, with “Romantic Gems.” The program will include pieces by Johannes Brahms, and the violin concerto of Jean Sibelius, as performed by the winner of the 2013 Downey Symphony Young Artist Competition, 18-year-old violinist Hao Zhou. Hao began playing the violin at age six and currently studies under Aimée Kreston at the Colburn School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles.
The art exhibit, Rebirth, will take place in conjunction with the concert, and will run for a month long. The mixed media exhibit will showcase art, submitted by 33 local artists, that portrays the theme of rebirth — death, life, and transformation. This installation is the largest yet for this space, with over 50 total pieces on display. Both the exhibit and concert are a celebration of Easter and the welcoming of spring.
The exhibit will open at 6:30 p.m., followed by the concert at 8:00 p.m. Purchase tickets at http://www.downeytheatre.com/Event
