Orchestra Kingston celebrates our 18th season in 2026/27!
There’s something in our concert schedule for everyone.
In November, we feature our Senior Concerto Competition Winner, clarinetist Zhiyi (Scott) Song, plus cinematic music depicting a fall fair, a spring morning, and the bright sunny world of Beethoven’s 1st Symphony, and a new piece by local composer Dave Barton.
In December, we collaborate with She Sings! Women’s Choir under the direction of Emily McPherson to present holiday music, plus we feature our Junior Concerto Competition Winner, violinist Grace Yeseo Jeon.
In February, we brighten winter by featuring soloists from the orchestra in a variety of pieces, plus high-energy works by Fanny Mendelssohn and Borodin.
In May, we close out the season with Verve by local composer Daniel McConnachie, Dvořák’s 8th Symphony, and we feature Rachel Szabo in Mozart’s 1st Flute Concerto.
We are looking forward to our new season, and it would be wonderful to see you there in the audience.
Celebrate the music!
John Palmer. Music Director
