Classic Series Subscriptions

The talents of the Akron Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Christopher Wilkins will be center stage during a 2020-21 concert season that features a major popular work on every program.

The Classic Series contains favorites such as Beethoven’s Fifth, Dvořák’s New World Symphony, Haydn’s The Creation, Pictures at an Exhibition, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, and Handel’s Water Music. The versatility and virtuosity of our Orchestra and the Akron Symphony Chorus are on full display in these great works.

But next season is also the most eclectic we’ve ever programmed. There are six works by female composers in all manner of genres: an overture, a suite of dances, three tone poems, and a symphony. The 2020–21 season also includes works by two Latinx composers—Gabriela Lena Frank and Aldemaro Romero—and two African-American composers central to our tradition—William Dawson and Florence Price.
