Hello families, Happy New Year!
Here is the updated Concert Calendar for the 2026 Spring Semester, January-May.
Please check which concerts apply to your child’s orchestra, and ensure they are added to your family calendar. These dates were originally sent out in August, during our first week of school.
One important note: based on feedback from students and families, the March ISSMA Preview Concert and May Spring Concert will begin 30 minutes later than originally listed. This allows families in the early concerts more time to contend with bus schedules, work schedules, and traffic.
