The marvelous Patricia Mitchell, oboist and blogger, has taken the bait and gathered the repertoire from her home orchestra. What follows is the 2009 repertoire for Symphony Silicon Valley from their main series, excluding pops and educational programs. This is a very interesting list- think of the number of pieces relative to the size of the market, and also think how much larger the list would have been in the San Jose Symphony days.
