One of the highlights of our spring season was seeing our concerts featured by local media, arts organizations, and tourism partners throughout Connecticut.

From event calendars to feature articles and concert reviews, each mention became part of the story of our season. We were honored to be included by organizations that help people connect with the arts across our region.

We're grateful to each of them - and to everyone who joined us along the way.

Thank you for supporting the Civic Orchestra of New Haven throughout a memorable season. We can't wait to share what's next.

Here's to another season of making music together.

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.
