An extraordinary season
The philosophical theme for the season is “spirituality”, continuing the themes of “humanity” and “nature” of the two previous years. Music which describes the deep connection to the world beyond, the transcendence of our existence and our need for beauty. This season concludes a three year arc of interconnected programs.
After exploring the Classical period in 2023 and the Romantic era in 2024, the repertoire for 2025 centers on the 20th Century.
This season, at QSO—let go— and allow music to take you on a profound spiritual journey.
