2026

A season shaped by collaboration, bringing voices, instruments and communities together in vivid musical storytelling.

This season celebrates collaboration in all its forms — from landmark performances with leading soloists and partner choirs to luminous Baltic, Nordic and Australian soundscapes, exhilarating classical–jazz fusions, and powerful choral–organ masterworks. Together, our 2026 concerts showcase shared artistry, bold repertoire and the rich creative possibilities of music made in community.
