2026-27 Teddy's Picks

Not sure where to start? 

With so much to choose from, try Teddy's top concert picks. 

Back for another season, Teddy’s Picks returns as a focused four-concert subscription built around the programs Teddy is most excited about this year. It is a smart place to begin if you are new to subscriptions, and a bold mix for those who already know the orchestra.

This year’s lineup includes Ledisi: Music of Nina Simone and Dinah Washington, Bizet & Mendelssohn, and the gripping opera Salome with Kentucky Opera. The package also includes the special feature of Brahms’s Symphony No. 4 which also includes the world premiere of Seasons in America, written by Teddy especially for Ray Chen.
