Season Announcement

We are thrilled to share our exciting plans for our 2022-23 season, which focuses on inviting you to an experience of Personal Discovery in each of our five concerts.

This season includes a powerful collaboration with Grammy®-Nominated violinist and composer Curtis Stewart, an exploration of Strauss's exquisite Four Last Songs with Sarah Brailey, a performance at the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, and the launch of a new chamber series as we become Ensemble-in-Residence at Carnegie Hill Chamber Series on the Upper East Side.

EXO was formed with my closest musical colleagues as a creative exploration of how we experience sound. We wanted to create concerts that would invite the audience to feel the music, and to invite them in to the music we were performing in a way that is more welcoming, and more fully immersive.

My sense is that in this age of technology and speed, we crave full-body experiences that sweep us up and where we are invited to hold nothing back. There is no bigger experience in sound than a live symphony orchestra, and I want to open that up for new audiences and have them fall in love with the music on their own terms and through their own joy and wonder and awe."

We hope you will join us!
