With programs like this, Carneiro smartly extends the legacy of Kent Nagano, the conductor who led the Berkeley Symphony for three decades, from 1978 through the end of the 2008-09 season. Nagano, now based in Munich, established Berkeley as a place where classic and new compositions are routinely paired — as a laboratory, in other words. Stepping into his shoes — she was chosen from a field of six finalists — Carneiro has begun to leave her own mark on the orchestra.
