This year, the WSO is reaching some major milestones.
The 2024-2025 season is our 95th year of making music–a huge accomplishment for any performing arts organization.
Another huge accomplishment? When your principal cellist has performed on all seven continents.
Come support the WSO’s principal cellist, Elisa Kohanski, performing on her 7th Continent by attending Milestones, a one-night-only chamber recital. Featuring an hour-long program that previews our upcoming season, Elisa, alongside composer and pianist Jonathan Kolm, will perform selections by Vivaldi, Ravel, John Williams, and more. The evening will mark the beginning of our 95th season as well as serve as a sendoff to Elisa and Jonathan before they leave for Australia and New Zealand.
This trip is the final leg of Elisa’s journey around the world and is part of a larger project that will culminate in the premiere of a new concerto at our 95th Anniversary Celebration concert in May 2025. The concerto, a seven-movement composition composed by Mr. Kolm and commissioned by the WSO, is inspired by Elisa’s travels.
Tickets are $25 and a portion of the proceeds will help offset travel expenses associated with the trip to Australia.
