"Dramatic orchestral playing"

"Intoxicating sonorities"

"Stunning performances"

We couldn't be prouder of our recent reviews from Classical Sonoma, the County's premier classical music website. As Terry McNeill wrote in a recent review:

"Sonoma County’s 'people’s orchestra' produces programs with many small but important personal touches: the conductor greeting audience members in the lobby at intermission... stage announcements from individual Philharmonic musicians... the now famous raffle and copious home-made cookies. It has become a large musical family."

City Lights is generally viewed as Charlie Chaplin's finest film – a silent film released three years after the start of the talkies era. Chaplin paid great attention to the live music played at the first runs of his silent films. In 1931, he astonished the press and the public alike by composing the entire musical score for City Lights.

Mahler “Titan” at SoCo Phil’s Season Finale
by Terry McNeill for Classical Sonoma
Saturday, April 8, 2017

Playing before an audience of 300 in the Santa Rosa High School Auditorium, the orchestra under conductor Norman Gamboa's baton took moderate tempos throughout, aiming for sonic balance in the score that runs well over 50 minutes. In a departure from local symphonic custom Mr. Gamboa directed from memory, and clearly the Mahler 1 is a special piece for him.
