Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall
Audiences are in for a treat when the Vienna Philharmonic performs concert number two! Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the exuberant Symphony No. 4 by Schubert. Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony masterfully blends the sounds of Indigenous, Black, and Bohemian musical themes, creating an anthem that represents the richness of America. The perfect way to say Auf Wiedersehen to California.
Hosted by Cal Performances, the Vienna Philharmonic will also perform in Northern California at Zellerbach Hall, March 5-7, 2025. Learn more about those performances here.

The residency is a vision of Philharmonic Society President & Artistic Director Tommy Phillips and Cal Performances Executive and Artistic Director Jeremy Geffen and is made possible by major funding from longtime California arts enthusiasts and philanthropists Maria Manetti Shrem from the San Francisco Bay Area and Elizabeth Segerstrom from Orange County. The extraordinary level of generosity and support from Manetti Shrem and Segerstrom has been instrumental for both organizations’ artistic endeavors and their missions to bring world-renowned artists and musical excellence to California residents.
