In programming his debut season in Walnut Creek, Cabrera has adhered to three California Symphony founding traditions — an ongoing emphasis on works by American composers, the promotion of very young artists (such as violinist Sarah Chang) at the beginning of their careers, and commissioning world premieres from promising young resident composers. It was not, he insists, a condition of his employment. “These are attributes that defined California Symphony and made it a unique musical organization, not only here in the Bay Area, but nationally,” he said. “I thought it would be wonderful to continue those traditions and, in fact, to celebrate them.”.
