TIME: EYSO’s 50th Season

This year EYSO invites you to explore the theme of Time—past, present, and future. Through three concerts—It’s All Relative, In a Single Moment, and Infinite Possibilities—we journey into the philosophy and experience of time itself. From reflections on history and relationships, to the urgency of the present, to bold visions of the future, this season celebrates EYSO’s timeline while imagining what lies ahead. Blending artistic, cultural, and scientific influences, TIME asks us to consider not just how we measure time, but how we live it.
