Thank you for joining OCO for the 2026-2027 Season Premier! This season premier will be one that you do not want to miss. We will feature our 2026 Young Artist Competition winner alongside OCO as we welcome patrons back for this new and exciting season.

OCO will open the season with Beethoven's Lenore Overture No. 3. Then, we will feature one of our overall winners of the 2026 Young Artist Competition, Yi Zhang, on piano performing the first movement of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor. The second half features OCO performing Zoltán Kodály’s Háry János Suite, presented in recognition of the centennial of the original opera.

Note: Doors will open 30 minutes prior to the event start time. 

This program is conceived as a musical journey that centers living Indigenous voices and reexamines the American orchestral tradition through a local and contemporary lens. Opening with a featured set for Native American flute by Travis Komahcheet, a Comanche musician from Oklahoma, the concert begins by grounding the audience in the sound of this land and acknowledging Indigenous musical traditions as living practices within our community. Connor Chee’s Bassoon Concerto, written by a Navajo composer and performed within the symphonic tradition, continues this arc by bringing Indigenous creative voices directly into the orchestral concert hall and featuring Dr. Jacqueline Wilson on bassoon. Dr. Wilson focuses on Native American and Indigenous self-representation and artistic sovereignty. Heard in this context, Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, From the New World, is presented not as a starting point but as a response, inviting listeners to reconsider the influences that shaped the American sound. 

Please check the OCO Facebook page for more information regarding other events with Dr. Wilson near the concert date.

This program brings together tradition, continuity, and the ongoing evolution of the orchestral art form. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Consecration of the House Overture, written for the opening of a public performance space, opens the concert by emphasizing music’s role in civic and cultural life. The program concludes with Johannes Brahms’s Symphony No. 3, continuing the orchestra’s exploration of Brahms’s symphonic output after the performance of Symphony No. 2 in the 2024–2025 season. By presenting Brahms’s Third Symphony, the Oklahoma Community Orchestra begins a multi-year journey through the composer’s symphonies, offering audiences the opportunity to experience the depth and development of one of the central symphonic voices of the nineteenth century.
