2023-24 Season

We are excited to share our new 2023-24 season with you and invite you to join in the buzz that surrounds our beautifully restored Warner Theatre. A grand, historic venue now with all of the modern amenities to help our Philharmonic sound sumptuous and vibrant, the Warner Theatre will continue to be our home for generations to come.

This season, the orchestra welcomes back world-class artists like pianists Simone Dinnerstein and George Li, as well as first-time performers like world-renown baritone Eric Owens, who will sing some of his signature arias in an evening of opera highlights featuring the Philharmonic Chorus. We also present a once-in-a-generation opportunity to hear Mahler’s epic and nature-embracing Symphony No. 3, complete with women’s chorus and mezzo soprano, as well as Carl Orff’s powerful and joyous Carmina Burana.

On the Pops series, we continue our popular film series with John Williams’ brilliant score to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone™ in Concert. We will also perform an evening of Sci-Fi favorites hosted by “Q” himself, John de Lancie, and an evening of Broadway favorites from Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Schwartz and Marvin Hamlisch. Our Pops season opens with a night of music from the iconic band The Police, led by legendary drummer from the band Stewart Copeland.

With multiple sold-out performances each season, the best way to experience all of these concerts is with a subscription. Whether you choose Symphonic, Pops, Compose Your Own, Flex Four or the entire ten-concert season, you are a big part of the Philharmonic’s success, and we treasure the opportunity to play our very best for you.

See you at the Warner!
