We are excited to let you know about the season finale coming up of the Bay Philharmonic: America in Rhythm and Rhapsody!

Celebrate Father’s Day and the American spirit through music with Bay Phil’s powerful classical program — a vibrant fusion of tradition, rhythm, and innovation.

  • Debut performance of Guest Conductor Jane Brown with the Bay Philharmonic

  • Pianist Allegra Chapman brings Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue to life

  • Dvořák’s New World Symphony soars as a timeless anthem to America’s roots

  • Aaron Copland’s Hoe Down, Saturday Night Waltz, and Fanfare for the Common Man come together to capture the heart of the American spirit—bold, hopeful, and deeply rooted in community.

  • José Pablo Moncayo’s Huapango bursts with vibrant rhythms and sweeping melodies, capturing the color, passion, and festive spirit of Mexican folk traditions.

This extraordinary concert blends beloved classics, blues, and American heritage in honor of our sesquicentennial year.

It’s the perfect way to celebrate Father’s Day — with fathers, family, friends, and unforgettable music!
