2025–2026 Season

Journey Through American Song

This season, Areté commemorates the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. This is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation’s past, honor the contributions of all who call America home, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation and beyond.
