Santa Cruz Symphony

Santa Cruz Symphony Not only does he have a clear idea in mind but he communicates it equally well." - Performing Arts Monterey Bay

Hear what critics are saying about the Santa Cruz Symphony...

"Arguably, the Santa Cruz County Symphony Orchestra under Daniel Stewart has now developed into the finest musical ensemble South of San Francisco and North of Los Angeles." - Joe Sekon

"I have not heard such beautiful playing from these low strings, such precision of entries from the woodwinds and such warmth from the brass, especial

ly the high notes of the horns in the last movement." - Heather Morris

"One standout of Stewartโ€™s conducting style is the sharp contrast of articulation between rhythmically charged passages and adjacent lyrical ones.
