Welcome!
As the weather begins to turn cooler, the shared experience of live music can be a powerful source of warmth and comfort. This month, the Symphony shows off its versatility: sharing the passion and soulful rhythms of the Kings of Soul; introducing children to the instruments of the orchestra with the classical Russian folk tale, Peter and the Wolf; and delighting audiences with John Williams’s iconic score to the holiday film-favorite, Home Alone. We’ll also welcome our Maestro, Christopher Warren-Green, back to the podium to conduct Beethoven’s lighthearted Fourth Symphony alongside Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, featuring the CSO’s own Taylor Marino as soloist. This month is also a time for reflection and thanksgiving. I feel so grateful to be part of the Charlotte Symphony family at this moment in time, as we look back on 90 extraordinary years as Charlotte’s Orchestra and forge new pathways forward. And I’m especially grateful for you, whether you’re joining us for the first time or are a long-time subscriber – welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. So come on in to the concert hall and enjoy the music’s warm glow.
David Fisk President & CEO
