Yesterday the Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra kicked off our Pamplona season in the beautiful Plaza del Castillo. Very grateful for the perfect weather — after two previous attempts at outdoor concerts with me had been rained out! So fun to perform in Pamplona’s shared “living room” with this great orchestra just as Pablo Sarasate did almost 150 years ago.

I’m thrilled to share this news. New Haven is a beautiful city that I already think of as home, with a tremendous group of the most versatile and thoughtful musicians, and a wonderful, forward-looking musical community at the Symphony. Can’t wait to get started!

We are pleased to announce that Perry So has been appointed as our next Music Director. He will begin his tenure in June 2024. The announcement was made this morning at a press conference held at the Stetson Branch of the New Haven Free Public Library.

Maestro So says, “I am deeply honored to be entrusted with the artistic leadership of the New Haven Symphony — the first US professional orchestra I heard when I arrived in this country when I was 18, in the city that my wife and I love and called home for a decade. When I came back this March to work with the orchestra, I encountered an artistically adventurous group of musicians motivated by a profound love for music and dedicated to serving the community. The commitment at every level of the organization to telling a fuller story of our unique American musical heritage than ever before — and doing so in a way that gives voice to those great talents who have been unjustly excluded — gives me great excitement for what we will be able to accomplish together in the years ahead. I look forward to conversations with all of our partners in the weeks and months ahead to learn how we can best serve the New Haven community together. Most of all, I look forward to the many moments of musical joy that we will share in the years to come.”
