As the 2024–25 Season begins, we'd like to introduce you to some new faces you'll see on stage! At the end of last season, we welcomed Yankı Karataş to the Second Violins and Avery Weeks to the Double Basses. Starting this season, you'll see former Second Violin Boson Mo in his new position as Assistant Concertmaster, along with newcomers Jimmy Cunningham in the Violas and our new Principal Trombone Nick Platoff leading the trombone section.

Yesterday, our musicians and Associate Conductor Gonzalo Farias had a special rehearsal on the completed Brown Foundation Stage. Over the summer, the forestage reflector, the final piece of the acoustic ceiling, was installed. This rehearsal and others throughout the week allowed us to tune the stage by moving elements of the Janet F. Clark Orchestra Shell and forestage reflector based on feedback from the musicians. We can't wait to welcome you back to Jones Hall this weekend!

This season, we’re thrilled to offer exclusive events for Classical and Bank of America POPS donors! Enjoy elegant receptions, meet-and-greets, and rehearsals with our musicians. This Fall, join us for our Meet the Orchestra event in October and our POPS Meet and Greet in November.
