Pioneer Valley Symphony

Featuring the PVS Orchestra & Chorus in collaboration with Illumine Vocal Arts Ensemble and Amherst College Glee Club.

Experience a night of transcendent beauty with three masterworks in one unforgettable concert. Gustav Holst’s Walt Whitman Overture bursts forth with energy and optimism, inspired by the poet’s boundless spirit. Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring follows, evoking the American landscape with its warm, pastoral melodies and timeless simplicity. The evening culminates with Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem, a powerful and deeply moving plea for peace, interweaving texts from Walt Whitman, the Bible, and political speeches into a soaring choral masterpiece. This evening journeys through the PVS 87th season theme of hope, resilience, and the universal longing for harmony.

The PVS Orchestra’s 32nd annual Mary Stuart Rogers Education Concert, Winter Moons, will be performed for almost one thousand 3rd & 4th graders at Greenfield High School in early April of 2026. A video of the concert will be available to stream free on our YouTube channel in May 2026.

Immerse yourself in the evocative sounds of Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate’s Winter Moons—a musical journey inspired by Native American storytelling and the changing seasons. Blending rich orchestral textures with indigenous rhythms and themes, Tate’s work transports listeners to a world of myth and nature, where tradition meets contemporary expression. Experience the power and beauty of this one-of-a-kind piece in a concert that celebrates cultural heritage and the magic of winter’s transformation.
