As we gradually emerge from the pandemic that has turned so many lives upside down, we are all anxious to connect again with people and places, through travel, and through the arts. Remember the feeling of electricity going through your body as you experienced live music up close? We want you to experience that again as we perform in venues large enough for you to socially distance yourself, yet still intimate enough to connect with the music and the musicians. We’ll perform some older works you can easily connect with, but also new and lesser known works, connecting you with different times and cultures. And by offering tickets at pre-pandemic prices or “pay what you can afford”, we’re making it as easy as possible for you to return to the concert hall. Join us for a season of thrilling soloists and exciting music. Let’s re-connect!
