Five concerts. One season. Yours to keep.
Five concerts. One season. Yours to discover.
A year of music, from swing to symphony to Sunday songs of America.
The 2026–2027 season is a journey through American musical traditions — big band swing, holiday classics, Western swing, an Italian voyage, and a season finale honoring those who serve. Five very different concerts, one season, and a community that shows up for every note.
“At the end of the day, I try to pick themes that I think the audience will connect with and enjoy the performance — regardless of the journey we want to take them on.”
— Gary Liebst, Music Director
