in english >>Past Programming
Called “consistently fresh” by The Go Out List, the programming of the WHCO is the hallmark of what we do. We strive to introduce audiences to “the classics” while also introducing new sounds and voices of new generations that hold a special meaning to our community. Our concerts often consist of new works, often by living composers, in the first half of the concert, with the second half of the concert devoted to the classics. Learn about our programming and current season here.
