2025 Program
2025 Fall Season
- Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis is all about the journey of change. In the first movement, we feel the struggle of resisting change—holding on to what’s comfortable even when we know we can’t stay the same. The second movement takes us through the transformation itself, full of uncertainty, reflection, and discovery. Finally, the third movement bursts into a celebration of growth and new beginnings, as we embrace change and take flight like a butterfly. This show is our story of becoming something new.
