Berkeley Symphony今日开季：Kent Nagano时隔17年重返指挥台 阿根廷作曲家新作世界首演
Oakland——Berkeley Symphony 2026-27乐季开幕音乐会《Inheritance》10月18日（周日）下午4时在 Oakland 的 Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts（10 10th St）举行。该团荣誉音乐总监 Kent Nagano 亲自执棒，这是他自2009年以来首次重返这一指挥台。
Nagano 于1978年至2009年担任 Berkeley Symphony 音乐总监长达31年，把这支乐团塑造成以曲目大胆、委约在世作曲家新作著称的团体。本场曲目以 Mendelssohn《赫布里底群岛（芬格尔洞穴）》序曲开场，随后是阿根廷作曲家 Alex Nante 的《Vater unser》世界首演——该作取材于 Bach 的众赞歌旋律，题献给 Berkeley Symphony 与 Nagano 本人。Nante 表示，在这部作品中，Bach 的旋律成为出发点，延展为不受束缚的管弦乐放大与和声展开。
下半场，钢琴家 Mari Kodama 与乐团合作 Mendelssohn 第一钢琴协奏曲；音乐会以 Mendelssohn 第五交响曲《宗教改革》收尾，其终乐章建构于 Luther 圣咏《Ein feste Burg》之上，与全场「传统与创新」的主题呼应。
票务方面，单场票20美元起；该团另设有 Students at the Symphony 计划，东湾 K-12 学生可免费入场聆听本乐季交响系列音乐会，随行成人享优惠票价。
Berkeley Symphony Opens 2026-27 Season Today as Kent Nagano Returns to the Podium After 17 Years
OAKLAND, Calif. — Berkeley Symphony opens its 2026-27 season today, Sunday, October 18, at 4 p.m. with Inheritance at the Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts (10 10th St, Oakland), as Music Director Laureate Kent Nagano returns to the orchestra's podium for the first time since 2009.
Nagano led Berkeley Symphony for 31 years, from 1978 to 2009, shaping it into an ensemble known for adventurous programming and a commitment to living composers. The program opens with Mendelssohn's The Hebrides (Fingal's Cave), followed by the world premiere of Vater unser by Argentine composer Alex Nante, a work based on a Bach chorale melody and dedicated to Berkeley Symphony and Nagano. Nante has said Bach's melodies become a point of departure in the piece for an unbound process of orchestral amplification and harmonic elaboration.
Pianist Mari Kodama then joins the orchestra for Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto No. 1, and the concert concludes with Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 5, Reformation, whose finale is built on Luther's hymn Ein feste Burg, echoing the evening's theme of transformation from tradition to innovation.
Single tickets start at $20. Through its Students at the Symphony program, the orchestra also offers free admission to East Bay K-12 students for its symphonic series concerts, with reduced-price tickets for accompanying adults.
