Welcome to Our 2024-25 Season!
Dear Friends of SoNA,
We look forward to our 2024-25 season with great anticipation and are excited to invite you to join us for a spectacular subscriber series lineup!
This season we take a journey through time and place to explore the evolution of the orchestral art form.
From Western Europe we will trace the beginnings of the modern orchestra through the classic work of Bach and Mozart; we will examine the connection between Europe and America through the prism of Dvorák and Gershwin; and we’ll present brand-new music by Cuban composer/pianist Aldo López-Gavilán.
Along the way we will also celebrate the holiday season together with our community-favorite Christmas concert, and explore the outer reaches of the universe with a Sci-Fi inspired pops program. And after an interstellar journey through four centuries we’ll finish the season right back where we started – at home in Arkansas with native composer Florence Price.
Please join us as we come together to bring great music to life in Northwest Arkansas!
