The HPO opens the 20-21 Season with Joyful Mozart, premiering September 26, highlighting the celebrated composer’s melodies and signature style in works for winds and strings. This performance is the first in the Hamilton Series, which features HPO musicians performing personally selected solo and ensemble works in celebrated locations around our community.

Members of the general public are asked to “drive through” with food donations during the hours of 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.  

Families will stay safely in their vehicle as volunteers unload donations.  Social distancing and strict safety protocols will be in place to ensure a contact-less drop-off process.  

Stories from Burlington organizations and businesses that have inspired us by taking action to support our community in new and creative ways. From retooling their manufacturing process to create personal protective equipment, to donating food or supplies to our local hospital, to finding new ways to connect with vulnerable residents and get them the essentials they need, our city has risen to this unique and unprecedented challenge.
