Welcome to The Phil's 2026-2027 Season!
We are delighted to welcome you back for another spectacular season of inspiring music. This season also marks a major milestone for The Phil as we launch a multi-season project to perform all nine of Beethoven's symphonies. We kick off this epic journey in October with his brilliant 7th Symphony and return to it in February for the monumental 9th Symphony.
In October, we'll also bring a touch of musical intrigue to the stage in honor of our Halloween performance date. In December, the ever popular Holiday Pops returns to fill your festive season with cheer. In April, our beloved Drawn to the Music series returns, featuring young artists' interpretations of Grofe's evocative Grand Canyon Suite. The program also features our own Principal Trumpet, Nathan Shower, taking center stage for Arutunian's thrilling Trumpet Concerto. In May, we close the season with a cinematic salute to the epic film scores of Ennio Morricone and Hans Zimmer, alongside a special performance of the 1st movement of Rachmaninoff's 3rd Piano Concerto by celebrated Steinway Artist, Everett Leigh.
New Concert Times - In response to feedback we received, we will return to Saturday concerts at 7:30 pm and Sunday afternoon concerts at 2:00 pm. Drawn to the Music performances will continue to be at 2:00 pm on both Saturday and Sunday.
We can't wait to share these incredible musical moments with you!
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is one of music's great declarations of human aspiration. Completed in 1824, when Beethoven was almost completely deaf, it expands the symphony into a vast journey from darkness toward joy. The first movemnet emerges from mystery and struggle; the scherzo drives forward with fierce rhythmic energy; and the slow movemnet offers luminous serenity. In the finale, voices enter a symphony for the first time on this scale, proclaiming Schiller's "Ode to Joy." Beethoven does not present joy as simple happiness, but as fellowship wrested from suffering, doubt, and chaos through courage, art, and shared humanity.
