This season, two of our concerts will be presented on Saturday evenings and two on Sunday afternoons. The fall season opens November 15, 2025 at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium with Summon the Heroes, Salute the Heroes, an uplifting tribute honoring courage and unity through works by Williams, Copland, Still, Ellington, and others. In January 2026, the orchestra welcomes Parness Senior Winner Esme Arias-Kim to the Frost Auditorium in America PLUS!, featuring Barber’s Violin Concerto and Brahms’ Symphony No. 3. The April 2026 concert, A Little Russian Romance, spotlights Parness Junior Winner Alicia Huang and Intermediate Winner Minji Choi performing violin concertos by Kabalevsky and Tchaikovsky, with Borodin’s In the Steppes of Central Asia and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 2 rounding out the program. The winter/spring season concludes June 20, 2026 with A Tribute to Our Roots in Black America, a powerful Juneteenth celebration featuring works by Florence Price, George Walker, William Grant Still, and Scott Joplin—honoring the enduring influence of Black composers on American music. Under the baton of Music Director Clyde Mitchell, the 2025–2026 season promises a journey of passion, heritage, and discovery through the world’s great symphonic traditions.
