For the Mill Valley Philharmonic, a new day has arrived – mixed with the nostalgia that comes with reaching its landmark 20th anniversary.

The nonprofit organization, whose mission of MVP is "to enrich the cultural life of the Bay Area by offering orchestral programs to people of all ages and means in their own communities," is coming off a span in which it saw founder and artistic director Laurie Cohen retire in 2018, then brought on a new executive director in Richard Aldag and turned its 2018-19 season into a competition of sorts, featuring three prominent guest conductors and choosing Dana Sadava from that trio to be its new artistic director.

Now the organization has unveiled a performance-packed 2019-20 season to mark both Sadava's first season and its 20th anniversary season, featuring four programs, two of which will feature noted Bay Area musicians, violinist Lisa Lee and cellist Jean-Michel Fonteneau. There will also be a special 20th Anniversary Gala celebration and concert in March 2020.

The concerts are as follows. All concerts are at Mt. Tamalpais United Methodist Church, Mill Valley, unless otherwise noted.
