The Monthly HSO Newsletter

January 2026

Happy New Year from all of us at the HSO!

We hope you had a happy and resftul holiday,

and that you are ready for more great music.

We have a beautiful Masterworks program coming up on January 10 & 11:

Beethoven & Barber

A rhapsody on Gypsy tunes, an American masterwork played by an American soloist, and Beethoven at his sunniest. Rising star William Hagen brings Samuel Barber’s violin concerto, on a program with Zoltán Kodály’s whirling Dances of Galánta and Beethoven’s beloved bucolic romp, his sixth symphony, the Pastorale.

See you there!

Matthew Herren, Executive Director
