2025/2026 Season

Save money with a season subscription and save the dates to exhale and immerse yourself in great music.

From masterworks that have stirred souls for centuries to powerful pieces of our time, a subscription ensures you schedule the time you need to step away from the noise and step into music that reconnects you to yourself and others.

This season includes Dvorak Symphony No. 8 , Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture and Symphony No. 5, Mozart Symphony No. 31, Beethoven Symphony No. 6 and works by Bach, Sibelius, Copland, Rachmaninoff.

You may be surprised by the stellar soloists we bring to the local stage: we welcome back pianist Michael Berkovsky to perform Rachmaninoff's Variations on a Theme of Paganini, superstar Joel Quarrington debuts Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations on double bass, our own Mark Whale and Erik Oliver Wawrzkiewicz perform the Bach Concerto for Two Violins and Luke Welch treats us to the newly re-discovered Piano Concerto by black composer Florence Price.

You don't have to go downtown to experience the power of a live orchestra!

See you at the symphony!
