Little City Concerts: Our Mission and our History
Founded by composer Stephen Gorbos in the summer of 2023, Little City Concerts seeks to present musical performances of depth and distinction in Falls Church City. Rooted in a contemporary/experimental aesthetic, concerts will focus on newly composed music, alongside refreshing takes on older repertoire. Each event will be connected with a social justice theme, and a portion of ticket sales will be donated to a specific charity connected with that theme. Little City Concerts is committed to presenting artists and repertoire that reflect the diversity present in Falls Church City: artists presented will have some connection to the larger Washington, DC metropolitan area.
2023-2024 was our first season of pairing music and social justice in Falls Church City. Our three concerts were generously funded by grants from the Falls Church City Arts and Humanities Council and the Randy Hostetler Living Room Foundation, local businesses in our community, and a host of individual supporters, and we were able to give free tickets to students and youth to attend concerts two and three. Our programming featured: Balance Campaign presenting Texture, Terrain, Transformation, an environmentally-inspired program that was paired with EcoAction Arlington; soprano Celine Mogielnicki and pianist Tatiana Loisha presenting SPEAK, a program devoted to voices connected with the LGBTQ+ community that was paired with SMYAL; and David Kim and Friends presenting The Artistry of Clara Schumann: Composer and Performer, which was paired with Doorways.
In 2024-2025, we are expanding our offerings to include a fourth concert; we are putting on our first chamber opera; and we are also presenting our first Little City Concerts Commission. Please join us for one of our performances!
