INTRODUCING THE 2026-27 SEASON
We are excited to announce the 2026-27 season. Our theme, Illuminated Through Sound is something you will both hear, see and experience.
“ This season is about illuminating great music, living voices, and the powerful connection that happens when people gather around sound and story. From Beethoven to Verdi, to new works and immersive experiences, the season is designed to move people, whether they’ re discovering the orchestra for the first time or hearing it with fresh ears.”
— JONATHON HEYWARD
Music and imagery come together in several exciting programs, from the Classical Collection to an expanded Film Series. At its heart, the 2026 – 27 season is shaped by conversation. Audiences will hear from contemporary voices, including our new Composer in Residence, Jonathan Leshnoff, and celebrate artists whose creative journeys echo across time. Together with the incredible Family, Fusion, Holiday, Pops, and Live at the Meyerhoff series, there is an opportunity for everyone to leave each concert carrying something luminous.
