A Message from the President & CEO

Welcome to our fall season!

What a joy it is to be part of Charlotte’s vibrant and burgeoning arts community, especially when we have the opportunity to collaborate with fellow artists and arts organizations whose missions are synergistic with our own.

Tonight, we’re pleased to partner with First United Methodist Church in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Charlotte Chapter of the American Guild of Organists — an organization that uplifts the importance of organ and choral music through scholarships, musician support, and presenting high-quality performances throughout the Charlotte area.

We’re delighted to welcome Grammy Award-winning organist Paul Jacobs to Charlotte, and thrilled that Conductor Laureate and Music Adviser Christopher Warren-Green is back on the podium to lead the Charlotte Symphony in works that showcase the power and beauty of the King of Instruments — including Saint-Saëns’ glorious “Organ” Symphony.

If you haven’t already purchased your subscription for the Charlotte Symphony’s new season, I encourage you to explore the stellar lineup of classical, film, pops, and family concerts on offer and curate your own concert experience. I look forward to seeing you at the Knight Theater for the official start of the Bank of America Classical Series, October 7–8, when we welcome guest conductor Andrew Grams and cellist Inbal Segev for Elgar’s powerful Cello Concerto in E minor.

Thank you for joining us and enjoy the performance.

David Fisk, President & CEO
