2026 California Tour – Octobre 29 – Jacobs Music Center – San Diego 2026-2027
The OSM’s grand return to California from October 25 to 30.
The OSM will return to California to give three concerts, respectively in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. The OSM will perform as a guest of the prestigious Los Angeles Philharmonic and of the equally renowned San Francisco Symphony for the very first time in 37 years—an honour for the Orchestra. For this occasion, renowned violinist Leonidas Kavakos will join the OSM to perform Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D major and Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor. Shostakovich’s Symphony no. 10 is also on the program for these two concerts, and the Orchestra will present Elysium by Montreal composer Samy Moussa at the concert on October 27 in Los Angeles. To conclude this California tour, Rafael Payare will have the pleasure of conducting the OSM for the San Diego public, who already knows him well, as he is also the Music and Artistic Director of the San Diego Symphony. For this concert, the OSM will perform Stravinsky’s The Firebird, a work that is in the Orchestra’s DNA, as well as Moussa’s Elysium and Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D major with Kavakos.
