2023/2024 ESO Season

Welcome curious newcomers, experienced symphony patrons, and everyone in between to the 2023/24 season of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra!

We intend for our new season of concerts to be celebrations of the creative and vibrant community we serve and of its musicians. We hope to inspire you with memorable performances that enrich, educate, and entertain.

In many concerts, your own ESO musicians will be featured soloists playing music they love from Mozart and Haydn to John Williams and George Gershwin. Guest artists will bring their favourite works from around the world, ranging from a baroque flute concerto by Carl Philip Emanuel Bach and a piano concerto written by then-14-year-old Clara Schumann, to recent works by Canada’s Samy Moussa, Finland’s Lotta Wennäkoski, and Australia’s Connor D’Netto.

You’ll enjoy treasured tunes from Hollywood and Broadway and be moved by the music of Sinatra, Latin America, and JUNO Award-winning soul-folk songstress Celeigh Cardinal. You’ll also have the chance to discover, or revisit, masterpieces of orchestral literature by composers like Beethoven, Dvořák, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Haydn, Sibelius, Mendelssohn, Handel, Schubert, and Rachmaninoff, among others.

Michael Stern, ESO Artistic Advisor

This season, Michael Stern will continue as our Artistic Advisor and conductor, while the search for our next full-time Artistic Director continues. Resident Conductor, Cosette Justo Valdés, will bring her unique style and energy to the podium, conducting a variety of exciting programs.
