On Sunday, April 13 the UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra (UCBSO) hosted a fundraiser at the Faculty Club to support the upcoming UCBSO Summer 2025 tour to Europe. Many supporters of the Department of Music were in attendance, showcasing the strong support that our performance ensembles receive from the local community.
Hosted by Department of Music Chair David Milnes, the event brought together a wealth of talent from inside the symphony orchestra, featuring multiple solos, ensembles, and even a surprise jazz performance from Professor Milnes himself!
This summer's tour offers the talented members of the UCBSO a unique opportunity to perform in the vibrant cultural cities of Berlin, Prague, Vienna, and Krakow. The tour will provide students an opportunity to demonstrate their artistry on international stages, representing UC Berkeley with pride and showcasing the depth of our musical talent.
