STOCKTON — It is a red-letter day for the Stockton Symphony on Saturday, Nov. 15. 

On that day, the concert will include the best-loved work in all of classical music and the concert  will mark a milestone in the Symphony’s 88-year history, with the orchestra welcoming its first Classics series guest conductor in decades, Maestro David Amado.
