A New Dawn

2026-2027 Season

A New Dawn celebrates the transformative power of our young voices to illuminate, inspire, and shape the world around us. Through inspiring music by women composers past and present, our 15th season shines a light on the artistry, resilience, and imagination of women across generations. Embracing the triumph of light over darkness, beauty over fear, and hope over despair, the season reminds us that every voice has the power to inspire change and help bring about a new dawn.
