Season 2024-25

JOY OF MUSIC IN ITS MANY FORMS

New Orchestra of Washington is excited to announce its 2024-2025 season!

This season, we explore a wide range of musical voices and stories, bringing together works from the beloved classical canon and exciting new contemporary works. Through a series of concerts spanning from iconic concert halls to intimate community spaces like local libraries, we invite audiences to experience music in new and unexpected ways that resonate with the world today.

Join us for a season that promises to push boundaries, celebrate new perspectives, and invite all to experience the joy of live music in its many forms.
