2025-2026 Season
Tickets go on sale August 1, 2025
“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.”
—Jed Gaylin, Music Director
