Welcome to your CSO!

The weather is heating up in Charlotte and so is the Charlotte Symphony! Over the next month, our incredible musicians and guest artists will showcase their talents and versatility through a range of musical genres from classics like Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8 to film music from The Princess Bride and hit pop songs from the best spy movies.

But the music doesn’t stop there. We’re pleased to have recently announced the Charlotte Symphony’s highly anticipated summer season. In partnership with Novant Health, we’ll turn Symphony Park into a patchwork of picnickers with the return of our Summer Pops series, featuring four family-friendly concerts including “The Music of John Williams” and “Celebrate America.” New this year: if you subscribe to all four concerts, we’ll reserve a premium spot for you on the lawn — you can avoid the rush and still enjoy great music under the stars. We’re also taking the show on the road, presenting five free concerts in community parks throughout the region. To learn more about our summer offerings, visit charlottesymphony.org/summer

While there is so much left to enjoy this season, we’re always looking ahead — and we have a fantastic season planned for you in 2023–24. I invite you to explore all of the exciting details at charlottesymphony.org/season-2023-24.

Thank you for joining us and enjoy the concert.
