Announcing the Kendall Square Orchestra’s 8th Season!

ABOUT THE 2025/26 SEASON

What if one night of music could change the way you feel about the world?

The Kendall Square Orchestra’s 2025–2026 season is your invitation to step out of the everyday and into four extraordinary evenings at Harvard’s Sanders Theatre. From the untamed rhythms of Gabriela Ortiz’s Kauyumari to the fevered visions of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique, from the seismic power of Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 to the soul-stirring passion of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 and the timeless beauty of Brahms’s Symphony No. 4, each concert is a world of its own. One might sweep you into the raw power of sound, another into a dreamscape you wish would never fade. These are unrepeatable moments, shaped by the energy in the room and the people beside you. You can’t stream them, rewind them, or experience them anywhere else. The only way to be part of them is to be there. Tickets are on sale now!
