SUMMARY:Himari Plays Sibelius + Tchaikovsky 5
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Festival opens with a once-in-a-generation violinist: Himari\, a 14-year-old phenomenon who has already collected substantial awards and recognition\, performs Sibelius’s Concerto for Violin\, full of Nordic snow and moody skies. Just as Sibelius invokes his native Finland\, Tchaikovsky’s dramatic Fifth Symphony is infused with Russian colors. Composer Carter Pann also unveils a brand new piece of music to celebrate the start of the Festival season.

SUMMARY:Mozart: Haffner\, Night Music\, & More
DESCRIPTION:Music Director Peter Oundjian begins this all-Mozart marvel with a mysterious serenade for winds\, which broods before turning suddenly buoyant.

SUMMARY:Beethoven & Stravinsky
DESCRIPTION:The Robert Mann Chamber Music Series continues with a program featuring the Festival’s own musicians. Beethoven’s only quintet for piano and wind is rife with rhapsodic dialogue between its instruments. In Stravinsky’s bitter L’Histoire du Soldat\, a WWI soldier makes a deal with the devil in order to know the future\, but — after a rousing story animated by music — the cunning devil keeps the upper hand.

SUMMARY:Prokofiev\, Copland\, Rossini & Ravel
DESCRIPTION:Conductor Gemma New returns to lead a varied program\, beginning with Prokofiev’s cheerful “Classical” Symphony\, which he referred to as “a symphony as Mozart or Haydn might have written it.” Ricardo Morales joins the Festival Orchestra to perform Copland’s Clarinet Concerto — penned during a four-month tour of Latin America\, the pulsing rhythms of Brazil are woven throughout Copland’s trademark jazz and lyricism. Morales continues with one of music’s finest showcases for the clarinet\, Rossini’s challenging Introduction\, Theme\, and Variations. The program concludes with Ravel’s beloved Ma mère l’oye (Mother Goose) suite\, where we meet Sleeping Beauty\, Tom Thumb\, Beauty and the Beast\, and more.

SUMMARY:Mahler 3
DESCRIPTION:Music Director Peter Oundjian continues his tradition of closing the Festival season with a massive Mahler symphony. Mahler referred to his sunny Third as “A Summer’s Midday Dream\,” and was aware he was defying symphonic convention as he wrote it\, saying\, “But to write a symphony means\, to me\, to construct a world with all the tools of the available technique.” Grammy Award-winning mezzo soprano Fleur Barron\, St. Martin’s Festival Singers\, and the Boulder Children’s Chorus join the Festival Orchestra to give this epic symphony its voice.
