2022/ 2023

season

Welcome to our 2022-23 season!

This year we will revisit some of the most revered works in classical music, while also deepening our commitment to championing composers of today. Our popular NAKED CLASSICS returns, and a remarkable roster of guest artists will take the stage alongside our own passionate musicians.

While these past few years have proven that the journey is not always a straight line, together with you, we will continue to bend and push artistic boundaries in the way that has come to define ProMusica.

I hope you will join us and discover something new, or rediscover some of your cherished favorites this season.
