Originally written for the Last Night of the Proms, English composer Anna Clyne conveys a sense of “occasion and celebration.” Or, as the Berkshire Eagle put it, “Masquerade has the style and sound of an old English music hall, a little like the nostalgic sounds on Sgt.

At just 19 years old, Mozart wrote this virtuosic and sparkling concerto for himself to play (even though it wasn’t his primary instrument!). Canadian phenom Blake Pouliot brings his signature stage presence to this equally thrilling and elegant masterpiece.

The New York Times recently said “Ravel wrote nothing more magical, and perhaps nothing so moving” as the final movement of this extraordinary suite—ostensibly for children, but with a complexity and emotional depth as profound as any work of art.

You never know what will happen at a world premiere! Be part of history when the first notes of Resident Artistic Partner Allison Loggins-Hull’s new Cello Concerto resound in the hands of Gabriel Cabezas, a “prolific soloist with an ear for the new” (The Washington Post).

This 1902 masterpiece topped the streaming charts in 2023 when it was featured in the Academy Award-nominated film Tár. It’s a journey from darkness to light, sometimes terrifying, sometimes tender—always epic.
