LIVERMORE-AMADOR SYMPHONY

The 'Livermore-Amador Symphony' is a local symphony orchestra composed of musicians from the Tri-Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Drawing mainly from the amateur musicians in Livermore, California and surrounding cities, the Symphony performs locally. Four main concerts are played each season, which runs from September to May, as well as a fundraising "Pops" concert series each October. As of 2006, most concerts are held in the sanctuary of the Livermore Presbyterian Church, with one concert annually in the Amador High School theater. The repertoire is classical music ranging from Baroque to modern.
As of the 2005-2006 season, the conductor is Dr. Arthur P. Barnes, who has conducted the orchestra for 42 years, since he was a doctoral student at Stanford University. The concertmistress is Sally Dalke. Dr. Barnes, Mrs. Dalke, and the principals of the cello and viola sections are the only paid regular players; the rest are volunteers.
The Symphony is a member of the Association of California Symphony Orchestras and the American Symphony Orchestra League. It also gives away annual scholarships as part of a competition for young musicians.
