Anthony Parnther, conductor Cirque de la Symphonie December 21 – 23 Knight Theater

Happy Holidays!

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year — especially at the Charlotte Symphony! Our programs are full of holiday cheer this season, and we’re so glad that you and your family are joining us for the festivities.

For so many, this is a time for family and togetherness, faith and generosity. As I look back on the past year, I’m humbled by the generous spirit of our patrons and supporters, and I’m proud of how much the CSO has accomplished! We celebrated the Symphony’s 90th birthday, launching new learning and community engagement initiatives including a third youth orchestra — the Charlotte Symphony Youth Ensemble — and performed for tens of thousands of friends and neighbors.

It’s always a joy to welcome Conductor Laureate & Music Adviser Christopher Warren-Green back to Charlotte, and I’m especially excited that we are presenting his world-renowned interpretation of Handel’s Messiah with the Charlotte Master Chorale. We’ll also welcome visitors from the North Pole to light up the stage at Holiday Pops, and experience aweinspiring acrobatics alongside musical holiday favorites at Cirque de Noël.

If you’re looking to give your loved ones a truly special experience for the holidays, consider giving the gift of music! Our holiday gift guide, found on page 14, includes musical treats for everyone on your list. There really is nothing that compares to the power of live music. And please consider putting the Symphony on your year-end list of worthy nonprofits to support with a charitable contribution as this tax year draws to a close: you can give here or by visiting our website and clicking on the donate button.

Thank you for making the Charlotte Symphony part of your family tradition this year. We wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season.

The CSO is…

Did you know that the Charlotte Symphony is much more than what you see on the Belk and Knight Theater stages?

Beyond the Classical, Pops, Family, and Movie Series in the theaters, we work to uplift, entertain, and educate our community through inclusive education programs and community performances.

• The CSO has three programs for young musicians: the Youth Orchestra, the Youth Philharmonic, and the Youth Ensemble. CSO musicians participate in coaching throughout the year, and even perform with the young musicians!

• Reaching approximately 15,000 students each season, we also have extensive school programs, including Project Harmony, “Music and the Holocaust,” and “One Musical Family” Education Concerts.

• We perform throughout the region, from community parks and schools to breweries, senior care centers, and places of worship all season long.

MORE THAN WHAT’S ONSTAGE. The CSO is

Anthony Parnther guest conductor

Anthony has conducted artists spanning every musical genre including Joshua Bell, Jessye Norman, Yundi Li, Lynn Harrell, Frederica von Stade, Roderick Williams, Canadian Brass, Jennifer Holliday, Kanye West, Imagine Dragons, Omar Apollo, and Alan Walker. Recent guest conducting engagements include the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Atlanta Symphony, Chineke!

Over the next season, Anthony will premiere Kris Bower’s Concerto for Horn with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, TamarKali Brown’s Oratorio We Hold These Truths with the Los Angeles Opera, work alongside composer Anthony Davis on his Pulitzer Prize-winning opera Central Park Five with the Long Beach Opera, and premiere a new work for narrator and orchestra by Oscar-winning, GRAMMY-nominated Jon Batiste, host of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with the Gateways Festival Orchestra at Carnegie Hall.

Additionally, Anthony will appear with the San Francisco Symphony, Seattle Symphony, Baltimore Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, San Diego Symphony, Buffalo Philharmonic, Virginia Symphony, Mann Center Festival Orchestra, Rochester Philharmonic, and Music Academy of the West.

Anthony has led the Hollywood Studio Symphony in recording sessions for many international feature film and television projects including Star Wars: The Mandalorian, Tenet, Little, American Dad, The Hunt, Fargo, The Way Back, The Night Of, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Encanto, Star Wars:

Book of Boba Fett, and Ice Age: Adventures of Buck Wild. His live orchestral concert appearances for e-sports titan League of Legends in Barcelona, Beijing, Seoul, and Los Angeles are among themost widely viewed symphonic concerts in the world, with live audiences of 50,000-75,000 spectators and a viewership that outpaces the World Series with approximately 100 million live streaming each League of Legends Finals Opening Ceremony concert.

Anthony has restored and performed orchestral works by Florence Price, Zenobia Powell Perry, Margaret Bonds, William Grant Still, Duke Ellington, and Samuel Coleridge Taylor. He has premiered and recorded works by Anthony Davis, George Walker, Errollyn Wallen, John Wineglass, Gary Powell Nash, Marian Harrison, Renee Baker, James Wilson, Phillip Herbert, Daniel Kidane, Chanda Dancy, and James Newton. In 2015, Anthony was profiled by Los Angeles’ KCET/ TV as a “Local Hero” for his extensive community outreach and advocacy for the performance of works by Black, Latino, and Women artists.

Anthony studied music performance at Northwestern University and continued his musical studies at Yale University where he studied orchestral conducting with Lawrence Leighton Smith and Otto Werner Mueller. He resides in Los Angeles and Palm Springs.

Cirque de la Symphonie is an exciting production designed to bring the magic of cirque to the music hall. For more than 15 years, it has thrilled and bedazzled veteran concert-goers and new patrons as they see accomplished aerial flyers, acrobats, contortionists, dancers, jugglers, balancers, and strongmen perform to live symphony music. They include world record-holders, gold-medal winners of international competitions, Olympians, and some of the most experienced cirque talent ever seen.

Their performances are uniquely adapted to stage accommodations shared with the symphony, and each artist’s performance is choreographed to the music arranged in collaboration with the maestro. When the artists of Cirque de la Symphonie perform in front of the full orchestra, an incredible fusion of these two great art forms takes place. The aerialists and acrobats turn the concert into a threedimensional entertainment extravaganza, and the orchestra seems to play with enhanced enthusiasm.
