2023-24

A LANDMARK SEASON YOUR SEAT IS WAITING! STÉPHANE DENÈVE, Artistic Director MICHAEL TILSON THOMAS, Co-Founder and Artistic Director Laureate

RENEW TODAY AT NWS.EDU/RENEW DEADLINE APRIL 28

Welcome to our 2023-24 season, my first full season as Artistic Director of your New World Symphony.

This new season is bursting with fantastic experiences showcasing the artistic excellence of our Fellows, world-class guest artists, and a vast repertoire that spans over three centuries.

We will share programs inspired by Miami’s blue skies and waters and celebrate the anniversaries of landmark works like Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. We will delight in musical love letters by Prokofiev, John Williams and Peter Lieberson.

We are also looking forward to the return of our friend and Artistic Director Laureate Michael Tilson Thomas performing works that are dear to him, including his own!

This new season will be, I dearly hope, an unforgettable moment in the history of your New World Symphony.

I can’t wait to share my enthusiasm and love for music with you.

I invite you to join me, MTT, all our guest artists and NWS Fellows for this sparkling season together.

See you soon! À bientôt!

Stéphane Denève
