SPOTLIGHT

Celebrating Twelve Years of Musical Excellence in Charlotte This month marks Christopher Warren-Green’s final concerts as Music Director after twelve seasons at the helm of the Charlotte Symphony — a tenure that has been marked by a broadening of repertoire and innovative programming. As we celebrate his legacy in Charlotte, we look back on a few of his many achievements.

May 2009 The Charlotte Symphony announces that Christopher Warren-Green will become its eleventh Music Director.

November 2011 Warren-Green works with students at Winterfield Elementary — a program that would eventually grow into Project Harmony, which now serves more than 200 students.

March 2014 Warren-Green leads a performance of Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor featuring his good friend and polymath, Stephen Hough, as soloist.

September 2016 In the wake of the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, Warren-Green and the CSO welcomes the community to “One Charlotte: A Performance for Peace,” a free concert featuring Copland’s Lincoln Portrait and Johnson’s Lift Every Voice.
