2024-25 Season
SEASON 100: EXTRAORDINARY!
Season 100: Extraordinary!, our Centennial Season, has drawn to an extraordinary close! The season opened to a sold-out audience with Mendelssohn’s dramatic and exciting oratorio Elijah. Immediately following was our wildly popular You-Sing-It Messiah featuring hundreds of local singers. We brought 2024 to a close with a free Season of Hope performance in downtown San José’s Cathedral Basilica of Saint Joseph—a benefit concert to help the marginalized in our community. Our first concert of 2025 was a sold-out performance of Bach’s B Minor Mass. And we closed out our extraordinary 100th season with Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony!
