The Chelsea Symphony

Artistic Director Matthew Aubin kicks off The Chelsea Symphony’s 20th anniversary season with Richard Strauss’s thrilling epic Ein Heldenleben.

This one-night-only performance features two contrasting clarinet concertos: Mozart’s luminous Clarinet Concerto, and Geraldine Green’s jovial Bass Clarinet Concerto. Artistic Director Mark Seto leads the orchestra in a sparkling Romantic gem, Louise Farrenc’s Third Symphony.

Celebrate the season with The Chelsea Symphony! Please note the Thursday date and the location on W. 86th St. Our annual holiday concert features wintry favorites by Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, along with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s cheerful Bassoon Concerto.

Twenty years ago, The Chelsea Symphony’s inaugural season paired the complete Brahms symphonies with new works by up-and-coming composers. In this program, we revisit Brahms’s magisterial Fourth Symphony and present a premiere by a composer who has been with TCS since the beginning, Aaron Dai.
