“
Art is the expression of our souls. When we look back hundreds of years, conflicts and turmoil disappear. What remains is music, architecture, painting—enduring as a mirror of who we were, of what we valued, of how we listened to one another.
To listen deeply is to imagine, to reflect, to remember our shared history. This is why we must continue to make music. Together. This spirit of shared exploration and deep listening shapes the 2026–27 season.
I look forward to welcoming you into Jones Hall for a season of listening, reflection, and connection. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
