Hymn for Everyone is a modern twist on music from the past with contemporary creations inspired by Guillaume de Machaut, Hildegard von Bingen, and François Couperin.
Journey across centuries and continents in a single evening. Experience Osvaldo Golijov’s luminous cello concerto Azul, alongside Christopher Theofanidis’s shimmering Rainbow Body, woven from a chant by the medieval mystic Hildegard von Bingen. With Kevin Puts’s Virelai and Daniel Henley, the Young Musician Competition winner, on marimba, this program offers a rare blend of ancient inspiration, global rhythms, and contemporary orchestral color that feels both timeless and brand new.
*Join us for a “Prelude!”, a pre-concert talk and Q&A with WVSO Music Director Nikolas Caoile at the Numerica PAC concert hall. Get ready for the show and dive into insights about our concert program.
Enjoy a pop-up art exhibition by the selected artists of NCW Arts Alliance before the show and during the concert intermission.

Downtown Discoveries & Latest News
As we celebrate Main Street Week, we're excited to share the Wenatchee Downtown Association's 2025 Annual Report.
When people think about downtown, they often think about the visible things: events, flower baskets, storefronts, and historic buildings. But behind those experiences is a year-round effort led by volunteers, business owners, property owners, community partners, and supporters who believe in the future of Downtown Wenatchee.
In 2025, our community continued to invest in downtown in meaningful ways.
Together, we welcomed 10 new businesses, supported more than 530 businesses through programs and outreach efforts, and saw millions of dollars in public and private investment continue to shape the future of our downtown district.
Our volunteers contributed 346 hours helping with beautification projects, events, clean-up efforts, and community initiatives. From flower baskets and public spaces to merchant meetings and redevelopment conversations, every project was made possible through collaboration.
Our four Main Street committees continued to lead important work throughout the year:
Design focused on beautification, landscaping, public spaces, and creating a welcoming downtown environment.
Promotion brought people downtown through events, marketing, and community experiences that support local businesses.
Economic Vitality worked to strengthen downtown through business support, redevelopment efforts, and programs like the Possibilities Tour.
Outreach connected volunteers, businesses, partners, and community members to the work happening downtown.
These accomplishments belong to our entire community. They represent countless hours of work, investment, creativity, and collaboration from people who care deeply about Downtown Wenatchee.
As we look ahead, we remain focused on preserving, strengthening, and enriching Historic Downtown Wenatchee for all.
Thank you to every volunteer, business owner, sponsor, donor, partner, board member, and community member who helped make this work possible.
“Downtown Wenatchee is the heart of our local community the entirety of North Central Washington. It means a place where all are welcome to enjoy shopping, working, dining, playing, and living. The improvements made in recent years and the capital projects slated to happen are positioning Wenatchee to be vibrant and sustainable for years to come.”
