Discover a New Season
This season gives you core repertoire spanning the centuries, from the classical eloquence of Bach, Haydn, and Beethoven to the romanticism of Schubert; from the opulent lyricism of Saint-Saëns to the vibrant eclecticism of Ravel and his 20thcentury contemporaries – all of it rendered with verve and imagination.
You’ll hear the other-worldly glass harmonica, invented by our own Ben Franklin, in a concert showcasing the music of the Enlightenment. You’ll enjoy the seductive rhythms of the bandoneon in a dance-themed program that partners Piazzolla with Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, and Higdon. Each concert also brings a world-class guest artists that include new faces and returning favorites.
Deeply satisfying, well-balanced repertoire filled with music you already love presented alongside new favorites.
