Join the San Gabriel Valley Symphony for a moonlit celebration of culture, imagination, and beauty at our Mid-Autumn Festival Concert, conducted by Co-Founder and Artistic Director Alex Deng.

The evening features rising piano soloist Ayane Nakajima and the world premiere of Simon Li’s Variations on a Raindrop—a lyrical and evocative new work that captures the quiet wonder of falling rain. The program also includes a tribute to Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away, bringing the beloved film’s magical world to life through sweeping, cinematic orchestration. The evening features rising piano soloist Ayane Nakajima in George Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F, a bold and brilliant fusion of classical form and jazz rhythms that captures the spirit of 1920s New York.
