A Message from the President & CEO
Welcome to our fall season!
Welcome to the 2022–23 season of the Charlotte Symphony! The opening of a new season is always a cause for celebration and I’m so looking forward to sharing our amazing lineup of concerts with you.
For more than 90 years, this orchestra has been an integral part of the cultural fabric of Charlotte. Both onstage and off — in concert halls, classrooms, breweries, community centers, and care facilities — the Symphony’s amazing musicians are lifting spirits and inspiring our community through the exceptional power of live music.
This new season brings many outstanding artists to the Charlotte Symphony and explores some of the greatest music ever written — new and old! Everyone is welcome and there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
We’re also thrilled to be welcoming back the talented young musicians of our Youth Orchestras for another season of incredible music-making. Across Charlotte, students are gathering again as part of our Project Harmony after-school program and meeting with the Symphony’s dedicated musicians for one-on-one and ensemble instruction.
There are so many opportunities to come and hear us perform in the next few weeks. You can find us at MoRA’s historic dairy barn and silos for a free community concert sponsored by Lowe’s, we’ll celebrate the reigning divas of Soul and R&B at Queens of Soul, perform the best of Disney at Stanly County Agri-Civic Center, present a Spooktacular Halloween family concert, and welcome conductor Marcelo Lehninger to the stage for a thrilling performance of Beethoven’s Pastoral.
I hope you’ll join us!
