This season opening concert introduces the theme Pillars of the Arts with an explosion of color, rhythm, passion, and raw emotional power.

‍

Performed by one of the next generation’s rising young pianists, this concert explores how visionary composers transformed their art forms and created music that continues to shape culture and inspire audiences around the world.

‍

Presented during the bicentenary of Ludwig van Beethoven's death, this concert celebrates the humanity, imagination, and emotional power that keep his music alive more than two hundred years later.

‍

Inspired by folk traditions, dances, and cultural stories, this season finale explores how composers transform musical heritage into powerful orchestral works. Gabriela Ortiz’s “Kauyumari” draws on the spiritual traditions of Mexico’s Wixárika people through vivid colors and driving rhythms. Daniel Freiberg’s Guitar Concerto, a North American Premiere, showcases one of the world’s most beloved folk instruments in a fresh and expressive symphonic setting. Bringing the season to a joyful close, Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8 transforms the sounds and spirit of his native Bohemia into one of the most uplifting and beloved works in the orchestral repertoire.
