SUMMER CONCERTS

Dreams of Dawn

Under the baton of guest conductor Jason Altieri, TOCCATA's orchestra and chorus trace a musical journey from Classical elegance through Romantic passion to the shimmering atmospheric soundscapes of the modern era.

The concert opens with Mozart's Impresario Overture, a high-energy curtain-raiser that crackles with wit and momentum, a perfect reminder of why Mozart remains one of music's most irresistible voices.

The program then shifts into something altogether more dreamlike: Ola Gjeilo's Dreamweaver, a hauntingly beautiful work for chorus, piano, and strings that sets an ancient Norwegian folk poem in music of still, quiet wonder. TOCCATA's chorus takes center stage here in a piece that is both deeply accessible and quietly unforgettable.

The concert closes with Beethoven's Symphony No. 1, the work of a young composer announcing himself to the world with unmistakable confidence, charm, and fire. It is a joyful, propulsive close to an evening. Dreams of Dawn is a concert for every musical appetite and the perfect way to spend a June evening in Tahoe.

SUMMER CONCERTS

Rock & Roll Summer Concerts

This summer, the stage moves outdoors as TOCCATA Tahoe Symphony celebrates the music that shaped generations with an electrifying Rock n’ Roll Summer Concert Series.

From the timeless melodies of The Beatles and Elvis Presley to the anthemic energy of Queen, Journey, and David Bowie, this program brings together iconic hits audiences know and love, all reimagined through the power and color of live orchestra, chorus, and soloists.
