2025-26 Season Overview
The DC Concert Orchestra Society is pleased to announce our 2025-26 orchestra season entitled A World Mosaic. We embark on a three-concert tour across time and cultures – from the Classical period to the present day. From Mozart to Moncayo, from Denmark to DC, there is something for everyone this season, including a DCCOS commissioned world premiere by local DC composer Blair Goins.
Our chamber music season features five concerts in Alexandria, Dupont Circle and Bethesda, focusing on 20th and 21st century works.
