The Orchestra puts on six "mainstage" concerts each season (three masterworks concerts, two pops concerts, and our new family concert). Additionally, each of our major chamber groups performs one concert each season, and we present a separate concert that features members of the orchestra as soloists. Finally, we have a concert of performances by different small ensembles made up of our orchestra members.  During the summer, we also present two lunchtime Summer Pops concerts for a fun mid-day treat.
