Litha Symphony dives into the flowing, mysterious, and ever-changing world of water with our 2025 season: On the Water. From quiet lakes and rushing rivers to the crashing sea and shimmering ocean depths, this season celebrates music inspired by the world’s waterways. Across two major summer concerts, we’ll explore how composers across centuries have captured the movement, power, and poetry of water in sound.
​
Whether you're drawn to the heroic sweep of the Rhine, the mystical pull of enchanted lakes, or the brilliant shimmer of the sea, these programs invite you to join us on a musical voyage. With guest conductors, beloved assistant conductors, and a powerful centerpiece in Debussy’s La Mer, this season is a reminder that music—like water—has the power to carry us somewhere new.
