A message from Music Director Lara Webber
Welcome back!
Great symphonic music brings us together, stirs the soul, and ignites the imagination.
Join us in the transcendent experience of creating and hearing this extraordinary music live in concert, performed by talented musicians from within your community.
Next season will feature beloved works by Beethoven, Copland, Dvořák, Grieg, Mozart, Richard Strauss, and Tchaikovsky, and spotlights the music of Louise Farrenc, Gabriela Lena Frank, Yuko Uebayashi, Frederick Delius, and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. You’ll hear remarkable soloists, including soprano Heidi Moss Erickson, flutist Ray Furuta, and pianist Sandra Wright Shen. We’ll continue our well-received series of Chamber Music concerts (in November, March and June), and we’ll “kick off” our season with our popular Baroque Concert in September. Our season will culminate in our usual May Family Concert, featuring the young winners of our 2025 Concerto Movement Competition.
Whether reflecting on the past, speaking to the present, or framing the future, these remarkable composers and artists will bring you joy, passion, insight, and excitement.
