Laós launches its fifth season with Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians, celebrating 50 years of one of the most influential works of contemporary music. Bring a picnic, settle in, and experience Reich’s vibrant, pulse-driven music in a relaxed, communal setting where you can listen, linger, and enjoy the afternoon together.

Our annual beloved tradition, Yuletide Cello returns to Church of Our Saviour! Hear your favorite holiday tunes performed by a choir of 12 cellists, then raise your voice and join us for a festive holiday sing-along.

Think new music is intimidating? Laós leans into the stereotype with adventurous works by David Lang, Thomas Meadowcroft, and Wang Lu, exploring rhythm and sound in unexpected ways. Anchoring the program is Bartók’s Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, a 20th-century “canon” work that also was once new, too.

Start your morning with an intimate program of vibrant chamber music, paired with coffee from our on-site coffee cart. Featuring music by Jennifer Higdon, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Maurice Ravel, and more.

Laós is excited to join St. John’s Cathedral once again to celebrate and advance the rich tradition of oratorio, bringing together voices from the past and present. The program features the world premiere of Nicky Sohn’s Dreaming Dust alongside Haydn’s Missa in angustiis, pairing a bold new work with one of the great choral masterpieces of the Classical era.
