EXTRAORDINARY STEP INTO THE

I believe that music is the most direct route from one heart to another. We all know how music can move, transform, comfort and energize us, but sitting among a community of people participating in the same emotions at the same time is one of the most powerful and beautiful experiences I know.

This season we welcome international superstar Yo-Yo Ma to Spokane, a once-in-a-lifetime musical event, as well as an exciting and varied season of classical and pops concerts. Between these series and our special events— like Beethoven’s Ninth on New Year’s Eve, Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker and a live performance of The Empire Strikes Back with the timeless music of John Williams—we’re sure to have something to excite everyone’s musical palette. We offer a doorway to a place removed from the hustling pace of life. A space to enjoy the here-and-now. I invite you to join us, disconnect from the everyday for a short while and explore a world of sound and emotion as together we step into something extraordinary.
