Winter Dreams

HSO’s Winter Dreams blends timeless beauty with bold reinvention. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 1, “Winter Dreams” evokes a snow-covered landscape through lush melodies and rich orchestration, capturing the magic and nostalgia of the season.

In contrast, Curtis Stewart’s Seasons of Change reimagines Vivaldi’s Four Seasons through a contemporary lens, weaving improvisation, electronics, and recorded voices to explore climate change and humanity’s evolving connection to nature. We are excited to welcome Curtis as the 2025-2026 Joyce C. Willis Artist in Residence.

This powerful pairing bridges past and present, offering a musical experience that is both enchanting and thought-provoking.
