The Orion Ensemble 2024–2025 Season

Welcome to Orion’s 2024–25 Season

We are delighted to have you with us for our 32nd season of “Orion Specialties”—classic beloved repertoire, new discoveries, forgotten gems AND Chicago premieres!

We are so happy to bring you another incredible season of music!

In addition to playing some of the most iconic works—Bruch, Schubert, Dvorák, Strauss, Mozart—we are sharing wonderful pieces we have not played on our series in the past. You will hear the soulful Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Clarinet Quintet, the exciting Shostakovich Piano Quintet, Chicago premieres by Alexander Goldstein (Trio on the Roof) and Jose Elizando (Dawn of Hope, Limoncello and Cherry Blossoms) as well as the fantastic Beethoven Septet for winds and strings.

Please join us for Orion’s Spring Benefit on March 16 following the 3:00 PM concert at Aurora’s beautiful New England Congregational Church.

We have a great season planned for you, and we hope that our performances will inspire and uplift you!
