All concerts begin at 2:00 p.m.

Capitals of Music

Music grows and prospers in cities where composers, performers, and audiences gather. A handful of cities have defined the history of symphonic music from its beginnings.

Take a year-long journey to four Capitals of Music and discover their distinctive sounds — New York’s exuberance, Paris’s cosmopolitan charm, Vienna’s classical poise, and St. Petersburg’s sonic brilliance.
