Concord Orchestra: Past, Present, Encore!

Past, Present, Encore!

We are delighted to embark on our second season with Music Director Zeke Fetrow and invite you to join us for a fascinating 2024-2025 season showcasing beloved masterpieces from the classical repertoire, rediscovered gems, and exciting contemporary works. We explore music from the era of Mozart and Beethoven to that of living composers Beal, Kurth, Marquez, and Tarrodi.

We welcome back guest conductor Alyssa Wang in a program featuring Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suites and cello soloist Aron Zelkowicz.

In March 2025 we will present American Heritage concerts as part of Concord’s celebration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, featuring Concord native Richard Sebring, principal French horn with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and a new work we’ve commissioned by composer Jeff Beal for the occasion.

We look forward to seeing you this season! Bring the whole family; youth attendance is free.

The British and Americans met in the Battles of Lexington and Concord 250 years ago, and they will meet again on much friendlier terms in this December’s concerts by the Concord Chorus. Two concerts, at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. on December 14, 2024, will be held in the Middlesex School Memorial Chapel, 1400 Lowell Road in Concord, and feature beautiful music by William Byrd, Henry Purcell, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Harold Darke, John Rutter, Charles Ives, Amy Beach, Katherine K.
