The Road Less Traveled
This upcoming season is filled with 'newness'; a new Music Director, plenty of performances of new music, music by composers who identify with historically underrepresented demographic groups, and a new approach to programming as a medium for exploring the wide world of concert music. This year will bring pleasant surprises to our audiences through a mix of rare works by well-known composers, cutting-edge music of tomorrow, and the opportunity for our community to hear what's new and exciting across the performing arts landscape. Every concert this season features works we’re passionate about, and we can't wait to share what makes these pieces so compelling. Take the ‘Road Less Traveled’ and discover something new with us this year!
