The 2025-26 season features performances in its Masterworks Concert Series and Chamber Music Concert Series
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Symphony Orchestra launches its 54th season in an easily accessible venue near Lansdale.
As one of the region’s only professional orchestras in southeastern Pennsylvania, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Symphony Orchestra presents season tickets for the Masterworks Concert Series on Saturday evenings and the Chamber Music Concert Series on Sunday afternoons at Calvary Baptist Church, 1380 S. Valley Forge Road, Worcester Township.
The Masterworks Concert Series features world renowned soloists and great symphonic music from Mozart and Mahler to Prokofiev, Copland, Schubert, and Ravel, along with world renowned soloists such as acclaimed soprano Leah Partridge, celebrated pianist Young-Ah Tak, and internationally renowned cellist Ovidiu Marinescu.
Masterworks Concert Series
The 2025-2026 Season opens Oct. 11 with Ravel’s “Mother Goose Suite,” an enchanting and powerful depiction of beloved fairy tales, and Partridge performs Gustav Mahler’s “Fourth Symphony” that captures a child’s vision of heaven.
The Masterworks Concert Series continues with the “Mozart By Candlelight” in November as the Southeastern Pennsylvania Symphony Orchestra performs Mozart’s popular “Symphony No. 38,” the “Overture to The Magic Flute,” and Schubert’s “Unfinished Symphony” – all set entirely to candlelight. “Mozart By Candlelight” sells quickly, and season ticket holders get first priority on these tickets.
In February 2026, audiences will experience the heroic grandeur of Beethoven’s immortal “Emperor Piano Concerto” with Tak as well as the romance, drama, and heartbreak of Prokofiev’s gripping score to “Romeo & Juliet.”
The “Third Symphony” of legendary composer Aaron Copland transcends American idealism and offers a promise of hope in the season finale in May. The concert begins with Marinescu and his own “Concerto for Two Cellos” featuring the composer and SPSO Principal cellist Alexandra Paino.
Chamber Music Concert Series
The Chamber Music Concert Series sells out and is a must-see add-on to the Masterworks Concert Series. This Series allows audiences to experience the musicians of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Symphony Orchestra in an intimate setting within the same performance venue of Calvary Baptist Church.
From a piano trio, marimba soloist, wind quintet, and a string quartet these concerts add to the concert experience for the community. The Chamber Music Concert Series launches Oct. 26 with a piano trio and the music of Beethoven and continues throughout the season on Sunday afternoons. Other Chamber Music Concerts include the music of Mozart, Rossini, Bach, Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, and Brahms.
There is something for everyone – symphonic music lovers to chamber music fans – the Southeastern Pennsylvania Symphony Orchestra is here for the community. Experience our music-making!
Calvary Baptist Church has one of the best venues for music. From the accessibility of the venue and generous parking to the incredible acoustics and large seating area, Calvary Baptist Church makes for one of the finest performance venues in the region.
