A really important message.
I don’t know any organizations who aren’t struggling in some capacity. Things are dire and we need the support of the community.

The National Symphony Orchestra is caught in the middle of President Trump's muddled meddling in the Kennedy Center - here's how the public can help.

This sounds exciting!

Last week, Leo Sarbanes successfully defended his dissertation, "Orchestra for All: Community, Race, and Storytelling at the 20th-Century American Symphony."

Leo’s dissertation traces the historical relationship between orchestras and their local communities in the United States over the course of the 20th century, particularly as they navigate changing populations and calls for social justice. He argues that each orchestra’s history of success and failure in community service is a valuable resource for them to design effective engagement initiatives in the present.

Congratulations, Leo!

In May 2022, our Phoenix Rising concert invited audiences into a vibrant celebration of AANHPI heritage — a program shaped by artists, composers, and cultural traditions from across Asia and the Pacific.

This was our first full performance post-Covid, and we wanted to honor and celebrate the culture and diversity of the Asian community in our region.

This month, we return to that spirit — recognizing the artists who inspire us, the stories that move us, and the communities that make the Eastside so beautifully diverse.

Music unites us all.

And we’re proud to continue building a symphonic home where every culture has a place on our stage.

You can watch the concert for free on our website.
