GABRIELA ORTIZ Kauyumari
BRAHMS Double Concerto
TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 6

K²O opens its 2025–2026 season with The Wild and the Tame, a program that explores music at its most vivid and profound.

Gabriela Ortiz’s Kauyumari dances with luminous color and rhythmic vitality, drawing on the Huichol legend of the Blue Deer as a guide through uncharted soundscapes. Brahms’s Double Concerto, with Sophia Szokolay and Alan Toda-Ambaras, offers a rare and intimate dialogue between violin and cello. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 closes the evening in a sweep of passion, tenderness, and deep reflection — a work that continues to move and astonish listeners more than a century after its premiere.
