“Our 2025–26 season is one of dualities. Each program presents two works that speak to each other by way of contrast and similarity. I am fond of this structure as it allows for the simplest curatory relationships, offering both listeners and performers a chance to consider great works in dialogue with each other most directly. The works then each can speak with a clean frame around themselves, even as they form a greater whole in a cohesive program.”
