Toru Takemitsu’s Night Signal creates a dreamy soundscape, while Qigang Chen’s L'Éloignement blends the excitement of exploration with the pang of homesickness. Gustav Mahler’s The Song of the Earth, inspired by Chinese poetry and featuring Grammy-winning mezzo-soprano Kelley O'Connor, represents the totality of life.

Join us as we turn Powell Hall into a Broadway theater when the SLSO and The Muny celebrate the legacy and music of composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim. Known for iconic shows such as Sweeney Todd, Merrily We Roll Along, A Little Night Music, and Sunday in the Park with George, you're sure to leave the theater humming.
Celestial music by Saariaho opens the program led by conductor Jonathon Heyward in his SLSO debut. SLSO violinist Hannah Ji performs music by Bologne, an early Black composer for the symphony orchestra. We exit through the art gallery—Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is an epic tour of musical paintings and vibrant orchestral colors.
