A Message from the President & CEO

Welcome to your CSO!

Happy New Year to one and all! I hope your 2023 is off to a wonderful start. The New Year is always a good time for reflection, and before we close the book on 2022, we all have the opportunity to look back on what we’ve accomplished this past year and envision what lies ahead.

At the CSO, we’ve had quite a year to reflect upon! We celebrated our 90th birthday and launched a digital archive to honor our history, entering our 10th decade of service to our community with fresh ideas on how best to fulfill that mission. In our 2022/23 season, we’ve already welcomed an impressive lineup of guest conductors and artists to the stage: we know you will be equally blown away by the astonishing talent still to be featured on our stages between now and May. With the worst of COVID behind us, we were delighted to see our audiences return in such large numbers, we look forward to continuing to welcome new patrons to the CSO — both Uptown and in performances throughout the region — including young families through our learning programs. Together, we have much to be proud of and, thanks to your support, so much to be thankful for.

For those of you who are regular attendees, please keep an eye out for a special offer in the mail this month, inviting you to renew your subscription for the 2023/24 season early and receive an exclusive gift. I guarantee, next season is one you won’t want to miss!

Thank you for joining us for this performance.

Wishing you and yours good health and happiness in 2023!

David Fisk

President & CEO
