Tribute to the Trees - Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra


Dunsmuir Botanical Gardens presents the 20th Anniversary “Tribute to the Trees”

fundraiser concert, with the Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra Saturday, June 19.


Each year The Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra graciously performs for the town of Dunsmuir in the most beautiful concert setting in Northern California, along the banks of the Upper Sacramento River in Dunsmuir's city park.


This year’s theme is Rhythms Del Rio. From the sunny shores of the Caribbean to the dark alleys and "tango joints" of Argentina, our musical journey travels through the Americas, south and north. Our program features virtuoso percussionist Chris Froh performing the sizzling marimba concerto by Brazilian composer Ney Rosauro, dances from Panama and Astor Piazzolla’s “Nuevo Tango” masterpiece. The Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra will also be presenting the world premiere of our fifth annual Youth-for-Youth commission, a new work for string orchestra by Berkeley native Gabriella Smith.
