Bay Area violinist Karen Shinozaki will perform with the Diablo Symphony on February 12 in Walnut Creek, under the baton of guest conductor Kenneth Raskin, the associate conductor of the Sacramento Philharmonic.

Shinozaki, a member of the New Century Chamber Orchestra since its founding in 1992, will play Mozart’s "Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major." She performs with the Santa Rosa and Marin symphonies and serves on the music faculties at UC Berkeley and the Marin Music Conservatory.

Raskin will lead the orchestra in Dvorak’s "Symphony No.8" and “Rainbow Body” by Christopher Theofanidis. The piece, one of the most-performed new orchestral works of the last 10 years, has been played by more than 100 orchestras internationally.
