CONTENTS

A modern symphony
orchestra is a miraculous
thing; it transforms marks
on a page into sounds that
live and breathe with us.
With its many moving parts,
possibilities always exist to
find something new, even in
music that is familiar.
Our 2017-2018 season will
be a journey to discover new
sounds together in music
that can only be described
as timeless. Join us! We can’t
wait to share it with you.
