The Phil

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!

Bolero!

This concert offers a captivating journey through the rich landscape of European classical music with a focus on impressions of Spain and Spanish composers. Mozart's lively Overture to "The Marriage of Figaro" kickstarts the evening with its enchanting melodies and irrepressible energy about a certain barber in Seville. Transitioning to the Spanish flair, Manuel de Falla's opera "La Vida Breve" enchants with its passionate and heartrending Andalusian motifs. Adding a unique touch, Simón García's Double Bass Concerto dazzles with its extraordinary exploration of the double bass's expressive potential. This is followed by Rimsky-Korsakov's "Capriccio Espagnol", a vibrant orchestral showpiece brimming with the composer's ingenious orchestrations. The concert culminates with Ravel's mesmerizing "Bolero", a masterclass in orchestral crescendo and a tour de force of hypnotic rhythm and melody. This concert is a delightful ride through musical peaks and valleys, promising an evening full of emotional resonance and exceptional virtuosity.
