Come to the Party Spaceship Earth:
Opening Night!
SEASON 2025 / 26
Notes from Home
SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 | 7:30 PM
Our season opener is like a love note from home:
Long-awaited. Warm. Familiar. Yet full of surprising,
good news. The first two musical postcards
remind us to celebrate life and each other.
Then, Copland picks us up on America’s busy
highway, drops us into the heartland,
and puts everything we love about this
country into the Lincoln Portrait, the
perfect note. And there’s no better
finale than Tchaikovsky’s brilliant
Symphony No. 2, a message
of pure joy!
