Join us at Miller Symphony Hall on April 25 & 26, 2026, for a transformative evening of music. The program features Mozart’s Requiem, renowned for its profound emotional depth. Also on the bill is a new cello concerto by rising composer Joe Jaxson, written for cellist Jalayne Mitchell. Jaxson describes the piece as a “vehicle for Jalayne,” aiming to channel her personal journey into a performance that embodies possibility, hope, and optimism amidst life’s chaos. The concert also includes Autumn Maria Reed’s Mental Health Suite, a poignant composition that reflects on the complexities of mental health, offering a space for reflection and understanding.
