Music as a form that gives us orientation, music as potential order, music as depth in a life beyond a surface that is rushing away from us, music as a place of community and listening, music as an expression of quiet and pausing for thought, music as a calm anchor in a restless world. (Franz Welser-Möst, From Silence. Finding Calm in a Dissonant World)
We are looking forward to welcoming you back this fall for our new season of in-person concerts
