A PREMIERE, AN ANNIVERSARY, AND SPANISH FAVORITES

Friday, 14 November 2025 • 7:30 PM & Sunday, 16 November 2025 • 2:30 PM - Bing Concert Hall

The Stanford Symphony Orchestra co-commissioned Serenade for Strings by the extraordinary young composer-conductor Quinn Mason and performs the California premiere of this new work on a program that opens with music by two of the great Spanish composers of the 20th century, Manuel de Falla and Joaquin Rodrigo. The Miraculous Mandarin is a symbolic fable about the all-powerful force of love in even the most squalid conditions. Inspired by this story, written in 1916 by Melchior Lengyel, Béla Bartók composed the music from 1918-24 as the score for a pantomime ballet. The premiere took place in 1926 in Germany at the Cologne Opera House.
