Musical guests for the 2013-2014 season include Yo-Yo Ma, John Williams, Chris Botti, Joshua Bell, Midori, Megan Hilty and Sigourney Weaver.
The celebration will continue in September when Renée Fleming headlines the annual Opening Night Concert and Gala.
It will the symphony's first season with new music director Andres Orozco-Estrada.
