One week away. First time at ORSO? This is the night to start.
Never been to a live symphony concert?

September 12 is the perfect night to find out what you've been missing.

Brilliance. Wit. Unstoppable energy. Wagner's triumphant fanfares. Stravinsky's playful wit. Beethoven's electrifying Seventh, one of the most thrilling works in the orchestral repertoire. And a bold new voice in Carlos Simon, bridging centuries in real time.
No experience required. Just come ready to feel it.

This is Ian Passmore's first concert as Music Director- the perfect night to become a first-time ORSO patron.
