Dear Friends of the LPO,

The LPO musicians and I are thrilled to share the 2021-22 season, when we will triumphantly welcome you back to the Orpheum Theater! We also continue to connect with you more intimately through our new and popular series Music at the Museum. The upcoming season will musically celebrate those who dream and those who blaze new trails, larger-than-life figures past and present and the everyday heroes all around us. We will tell stories and draw closer to one another through the virtuosity and versatility of centuries of music, spanning genres, all performed with electricity and poignancy.

We are committed to inspiring and energizing you with each concert we present. Subscribe today for special benefits and first access to all the season has to offer.
