Symphony Silicon Valley presents Double Concerto, Triple Threat
Maestro Silverstein returns to lead Symphony Silicon Valley in a magnificent program of three late, great works, showcasing two eminent young guest artists. Haydn's brief, witty Symphony No. 102 opens, a miracle of compact expression, full of both deep feeling and playfulness. One of Stravinsky's last works for full orchestra, his Symphony in Three Movements, then leads us into Brahms' extraordinary Double Concerto. This mature masterpiece demands the utmost virtuosity from both its soloists; it's been said that it should sound as if it is played on a single 8-string instrument, a perfect marriage of cello and violin. We are delighted to welcome rising international stars Axel Strauss and Mark Kosower, to close our 2006-07 season with this unforgettable work.

37th Annual Chicano Commencement, SJSU
The 1st Chicano Commencement was established in 1970 as a celebration for Chicanos graduating from San Jose State College. Its roots can be traced from the 1968 and 1969 walkouts and protests, by Chicano students and Chicano community members, against San Jose State Administration. At that time, during the era of the civil Rights Movement, Chicano students felt misrepresented by the college and that the Chicano community’s needs were not being met. When demands for change were refused, Chicano students and community members walked out of the college’s annual commencement ceremony held at Spartan Stadium and as a result, decided to hold their own commencement, A Chicano Commencement.
