We couldn't possibly comment. 👀🎼

A very civilised meeting, with just a hint of treble... 😂😅😅

The final notes of our spring season may have faded, but the music doesn't stop here.

As we look ahead to a new season of performances, collaborations, and community connections, we're taking a moment to reflect with gratitude on an unforgettable spring.

Thank you to everyone who attended a concert, shared a post, brought a friend, donated, volunteered, cheered us on, or simply followed along. Your support is part of what makes this orchestra possible.

Here's to the memories we've made — and to everything still to come. 🎶

Not on the same stage, but on the same page.

Things escalated quickly this spring.

Our A Musical Expedition concert at the Yale Peabody Museum somehow landed on Connecticut Insider’s “15 Things To Do in Connecticut” list right below Cardi B.

A month later, Glow & Grace gave us a trombone compared to Beyoncé when New Haven Independent described Matthew Russo’s performance.

We genuinely did not have either of these on our 2026 bingo card.

At this point, we have absolutely no idea what happens next. 🎻✨

We’re incredibly grateful to the New Haven Independent for this thoughtful feature and review of Glow & Grace at Battell Chapel this past Saturday.

From Quinn Mason’s Sonorous and its New England premiere featuring trombonist Matthew Russo to Rossini and Franck led by Music Director Nadya Potemkina, this concert meant a great deal to everyone involved, and we’re so happy to see that spirit reflected in the article.

🎶 What makes a concert program truly come alive? 🎶

Music Director Nadya Potemkina shares a few thoughts on the music behind Glow & Grace — from Rossini’s brilliance to Franck’s sweeping power, and the New England premiere of Quinn Mason’s Sonorous featuring trombonist Matthew Russo.

Join the Civic Orchestra of New Haven tomorrow at Battell Chapel for an afternoon of energy, elegance, and music that brings together familiar masterworks and new voices.
