2024-2025 Season
2024-25 Season
Bold strokes! Each program in our season contains rhythmic drive, powerful melodies, and soloists that come with dramatic individuality. As we journey through repertoire from beloved classics, like Beethoven's 7th Symphony, to new works, like the raga-inspired Nightfall Rhapsody, I believe you will leave each performance transformed.

Rhapsody and rhythm are the musical forces behind this multi-faceted program. HSO will give its debut performance of Drew Zaremba’s Nightfall Rhapsody (or Rhapsody in Raag Jog), which combines traditional Indian music motifs, jazz, and classical sounds. Bansuri flute, tabla, saxophone, and Kathak dancing will bring these expressions to life in a work that opens with mystery and closes with incisiveness. Beethoven’s irrepressible Symphony No. 7 contains similar features with driving, ecstatic rhythm even as it opens with a kind of cosmic grandeur. Both works, then, follow a surprisingly similar trajectory, and move in similar ways, with a surface that could not be more contrasting.
DREW ZAREMBA: Nightfall Rhapsody—Anjan Shah, Bansuri flute, tenor saxophone; Nabin Shrestha, tabla ; Jonathan Epley, guitar; Amy Shook, bass; Sarah Morelli, Kathak artist

To close out our 2024-25 season, HSO will feature not one, but two world-class soloists. Sibelius’ Finlandia will open the program, followed by a performance from the illustrious Stefan Jackiw, who will grace our stage with Berg’s haunting Violin Concerto. Internationally-acclaimed performer Marina Piccinini will dazzle on Nielsen’s Flute Concerto. This Danish work miraculously combines abandon with a clean-lined Scandinavian tilt and will be followed by a delightful duet with flutist Giorgio Consolati. Audiences will not want to miss this star-studded event.
JEAN SIBELIUS: Finlandia
ALBAN BERG: Violin Concerto—Stefan Jackiw, violin
CARL NIELSEN: Flute Concerto—Marina Piccinini, flute
FRANZ & KARL DOPPLER: Fantasy on “Rigoletto”—Marina Piccinini and Giorgio Consolati, flute
