We still have some things to work out! Checking with the school, budget review, etc. Here is an outline of our schedule for the MLSO 2025-2026 season. Note we once again have several performance venues and an occasional Wednesday rehearsal!

We are trying to give musicians who don't have parts for all pieces an occasional night off. Don is making a concerted effort to stay on track with timing, weighing against fixing it and weekly improvement. We would like that 15 minute break to socialize and have a snack. Mae Huang is coordinating the snacks!
