In 2025 QUO presented its first ever festival: QUOFest 2025, with four events over three days. Saturday night featured the full orchestra.

Celebrating 10 years of marriage equality in the United States, QUO delivers a bespoke wedding gift from the heart. Something old (Mozart’s effervescent Haffner Symphony) is paired with something new (the East Coast premiere of music by Yaz Lancaster). A little something borrowed comes from music transcribed from George Frederick Handel, Sigur Ros and Beverly Glenn-Copeland. Gershwin’s timeless bop Rhapsody in Blue completes the rhyme, featuring pianist James Adler, renowned for his “coloristic imagination” (Fanfare).
