Defining music.
Redefining concerts.

In the summer of 1802 Beethoven wrote two of his most historical works — The Second Symphony, and his Heiligenstadt Testament. One was a musical explosion of joy, with long heroic themes. The other was an intensely personal testament written in anguish, acknowledging the certainty of his impending deafness and agonizing over the questions of his future. Hear the weaving of his personal words intertwined with one of his most extraordinary and well-loved symphonic works, and be astonished how he overcame the sorrow of his Testament and resolved himself to “his art”, in order to produce one of his most compellingly joyful symphonies.

Known for his off-color commentary and copious anecdotes, come enjoy the music that Mozart himself mentions in his letters, whether by him or by others, and hear just what the musical prodigy thought about it all!

An exploration of Brahms through his best (and perhaps less familiar, but equally beautiful) music, including orchestral works as well as songs and lieder that he wrote for voices. The concert is bookended by the first movement of the First Symphony, and the last movement of the Fourth Symphony.

Come hear how a young brave woman saved her own life, and all the lives of the women in her city, through love and her intoxicating storytelling that would come to be known as The Arabian Nights.

In a concert inspired by art, come see and hear the visual journey walked by Modest Mussorgsky as he celebrated the artistic exhibition of his dear friend Viktor Hartmann.

A concert telling of the immeasurable history of the Women’s Orchestra in Auschwitz-Birkenau which was conducted by Alma Rosé (the niece of Gustav Mahler), using repertoire from the orchestral canon that was actually performed by the Women's Orchestra in Auschwitz, and sharing first-hand account by orchestra members intertwined with historical documents and diary recollections from other prisoners.
