Palo Alto Philharmonic Orchestra

David Bratman on December 3, 2012

If there’s a Great American Symphony, it’s Roy Harris’ rugged Third from 1938, a fitting companion for “Decoration Day” from Charles Ives’ Holiday's Symphony also on the program from an intrepid amateur community ensemble, the Palo Alto Philharmonic. The evening rounds out with Brahms’ Violin Concerto, with the intrepid local violinist Christina Mok as soloist.
