Orchestra & Chamber Music at Cal Performances

London’s Philharmonia Orchestra, lead by maestro Santtu-Matias Rouvali and joined by pianist (and this season’s Artist in Residence) Víkingur Ólafsson, returns for two concerts as part of our 2025–26 Orchestra and Chamber Music season. Also returning are the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Riccardo Muti; the Isidore Quartet; two visits by the Takács Quartet—one with violist Jordan Bak in his Cal Performances debut; and cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han.  Additionally, the adventurous JACK Quartet makes its ensemble debut.
