Season 11: Together
So much has happened since our last in-person concert back in March of 2020, and the idea of being together has very much been on everyone's mind, both on and off stage. This season, we are presenting programs celebrating that theme with a striking line up of composers. We are looking forward to safely returning to the stage and welcoming you to our concerts.
As required by New York City law, all audience members, performers,
and staff will need to provide proof of vaccination to enter our concerts this season.
