Over the past few weeks, I’ve shared how Cape Symphony is evolving. We’re still an orchestra. That remains our artistic core. But we’re also becoming something broader—a cultural home for this region, shaped by the way people actually live on Cape Cod.

That shift isn’t theoretical. It’s already happening.

The Cape Symphony Orchestra and the Chatham Chorale are delighted to join forces for Into the Light: The Best of Handel, Mozart, and Schubert at Monomoy High School on April 26, 2026 at 3:00 PM.

Classically trained soprano Kristin Howard (pictured) will be the soloist, and shared her thoughts about this regal, majestic, and exciting program.

In my last message, I shared how orchestras across the country are evolving—finding new ways to connect with their communities while staying rooted in the art form. Here on Cape Cod, that evolution takes on a very specific shape.

Because this is not a typical place.
