Experience classical music like never before.

Whether you are new to classical music or a longtime fan, our Masterworks concerts are guaranteed to entertain, excite, and educate our audience. A typical Masterworks performance at the WSO will feature a favorite canonical classical work—Beethoven, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, and so on—alongside a new contemporary piece, supporting our mission of uplifting living American composers as they create the new canon of classical music.

When you walk into the hall for a Masterworks performance, you may just experience a world premiere, a virtuosic soloist, or a total immersive artistic collaboration.
