Welcome Note
Happy New Year!
As we step confidently into 2025, we are energized by the many incredible events and opportunities that lie ahead at the Charlotte Symphony. From immersive performances to milestone celebrations, and the exciting culmination of the Symphony’s $50M comprehensive campaign that will play a pivotal role in shaping our future, 2025 promises to be a year of growth and inspiration.
One of the most anticipated events this February 28 and March 1 is Become Ocean , a 360-degree immersive audio experience at Blumenthal Arts’s new venue, Blume Studios. With its spatial audio and immersive lighting, you’ll be surrounded by John Luther Adams’s captivating soundscape, inspired by the waters of the Pacific Northwest. It promises to be a one-of-a-kind experience.
Looking ahead, Music Director Kwamé Ryan returns March 7 & 8 to lead Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with pianist Louis Schwizgebel. Later in the month, we’re delighted to welcome back former Music Director Christoph Perick to conduct orchestral highlights from Wagner’s most beloved operas on March 21 & 22.
As always, thank you for your continued support of the Charlotte Symphony. We can’t wait to share these extraordinary moments with you.
