On Sunday, May 17, 2026, the La Mirada Symphony concludes its season with Echoes of Russia, a powerful program that showcases the depth and drama of Russian music. The afternoon begins with a pre-concert lecture at 2:15 p.m., followed by the concert at 3:00 p.m. The program opens with Dmitri Kabalevsky’s spirited Overture to Colas Breugnon and features solo performances by outstanding student musicians from the Whittier Branch of MTAC. The season then comes to a stirring close with Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s iconic Symphony No. 6, “Pathétique,” a work of profound beauty and emotional power.
