Overview

Launch the 2026/27 Season with a surge of excitement. Connesson’s Maslenitsa is the perfect opening—an electrifying burst of color and momentum inspired by Slavic Carnival celebrations, alive with glowing chorales, blazing brass and infectious energy. That spark gives way to the elegance of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22, performed by international award-winning pianist Evren Ozel, followed by the sweeping romance and drama of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, where soaring melodies and vivid contrasts bring the evening to a mighty close.
