Five teenage laureates, one believing orchestra, and an evening that proved to us why the concerto endures: as a stage for the brave individual voice. The Park Avenue Chamber Symphony’s 2025–26 season — including its immersive InsideOut Concerts — awaits the curious listener. Seek out the exciting 2026-27 season, take a seat in the sound, and let these musicians astonish you, too.
Season 42 of the American Classical Orchestra promises to be nothing short of magnificent. From Haydn’s “Lord Nelson” Mass and transcendent J.S. Bach motets to Mozart, Berwald, and not one but three more Beethoven symphonies—including the thunderous Fifth—the coming season is a feast for the historically curious and the passionately musical alike. These are concerts to circle on your calendar, to bring a friend, and above all: do not miss a single note.
The Park Avenue Chamber Symphony’s radiant Saint-Saëns program at the DiMenna Center blended immersive magic, dazzling virtuosity, and profound emotional resonance. With David Bernard’s visionary leadership, Maxim Lando’s brilliance, and Paolo Bordignon’s majestic artistry, the evening ignited a passionate call to experience future PACS performances from within the very heart of the music.
