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 16, 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.

Emerging American conductor Christopher James Lees brings passionate and nuanced orchestral performances to the stage, a fierce commitment to contemporary music, and a natural charisma to audiences all around the world.

In 2018, Mr. Lees began an appointment as Resident Conductor of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra and Principal Conductor of the Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestra. In addition to the more than 50 annual concert appearances with the CSO, he has stepped in to conduct Subscription Classical performances on four occasions, including a gala weekend with Grammy Award winning artist and Jazz legend Branford Marsalis in May 2021.

An active guest conductor, Mr. Lees has returned for performances with the Los Angeles and Rochester Philharmonics, the Houston, Detroit, Milwaukee, North Carolina, Portland, and Flint Symphonies, and conducted debuts with the Indianapolis, Kansas City, Toledo, and Vermont Symphonies.

Additional engagements have taken him to the National Arts Centre Orchestra, Orchestra de Chambre de Paris, Aspen Philharmonic Orchestra, Cabrillo Festival Orchestra, and at the Music in the Mountains Festival & Festival Internacional de Inverno de Campos do Jordão in Brazil.

Only the second American Gustavo Dudamel Conducting Fellow with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Mr. Lees made his debut with the orchestra in April 2013 and returned for concerts in February 2015.

With the New York Philharmonic, St. Louis & Atlanta Symphonies, among others, Mr. Lees has served as assistant conductor for the world’s leading conductors, including: Gustavo Dudamel, Paavo Järvi, Herbert Blomstedt, Leonard Slatkin, David Robertson, Robert Spano, Marin Alsop, Pablo Heras-Casado, Stéphane Danève, Susanna Mälkki, and Nicholas McGegan.

Christopher James Lees resident conductor

A recipient of a Career Assistance Grant from the Solti Foundation US, Mr. Lees was also chosen for showcase on the Bruno Walter Memorial Foundation National Conductor Preview, hosted by the League of American Orchestras and Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra.

A dedicated advocate for music of our time, Mr. Lees has premiered more than one hundred fifty new works by a diverse range of composers, and collaborated closely with Pulitzer Prize winners John Adams, William Bolcom, John Corigliano, Jennifer Higdon, Joseph Schwantner, Steven Stucky, Caroline Shaw, Roger Reynolds, and Julia Wolfe.

An equally passionate advocate for music education, Mr. Lees has brought inspirational energy to student orchestras across the country, from the Colburn School to the New England Conservatory, and previously served on the faculties of the University of Michigan and the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.

A native of Washington, D.C., Mr. Lees holds bachelors and master’s degrees from the University of Michigan, and has studied conducting with Larry Rachleff and Robert Spano, as well as having participated in masterclasses with Lorin Maazel, Michael Tilson Thomas, Gustav Meier, and Jorma Panula. When not performing, Mr. Lees can be found building Lego sets with his six year old son, reading the stack of books by his nightstand, or training outdoors for his next 10K road race.

organist

A native of Charlotte, NC, and an experienced organist, choral accompanist, and vocalist, Evan is a much soughtafter accompanist. He has collaborated with multiple choirs in the New York City and New Jersey areas such as Musica Dulce at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the All Souls Professional Choir at All Souls Unitarian Church in New York City. He has also concertized with the Baroque Orchestra of New Jersey’s Summer Keyboard Festival and the Old West Organ Society of Boston, MA.

As a solo recitalist and guest artist, Evan has performed and collaborated in various musical performances throughout New York City and the greater New Jersey metropolitan area, Boston, Washington D.C., Charlotte, Greenville, Rochester, Montreal, and Arezzo, Rome, and Milan, Italy.

Evan was named an E. Power Biggs Fellow for the Organ Historical Society’s 2018 Convention in Rochester, NY. In addition to this fellowship, Mr. Currie was awarded second prize in the American Guild of Organists Brooklyn Chapter’s 2018 George Mathison Memorial Competition and a full stipend to attend the Montreal Organ Festival and McGill Organ Summer Academy. During his studies at the institute, he was selected to participate in a master class with Olivier Latry, titular-organist of Notre-Dame of Paris.

A graduate of Furman University in Greenville, SC, Evan earned a Bachelor of Music degree, cum laude, in organ performance as a student of Dr. Charles Tompkins and served as the Chancel Choir accompanist. In addition to his degree in organ, Evan augmented his studies with secondary concentrations in piano and voice, studying piano with Dr. Ruby Morgan and voice with Mrs. Lisa Barksdale and Dr. Trudy Hines Fuller. He completed additional performance studies in Arezzo, Italy at the Accademia dell’ Arte and served as an intern at The Juilliard School in New York City.

The Charlotte Symphony is a proud member of the League of American Ochestras.

The Charlotte Chapter of the American Guild of Organists was founded on October 31, 1947. The guild seeks to set and maintain high musical standards and to promote understanding and appreciation of all aspects of organ and choral music; to raise the standard of efficiency of organists by examinations in organ playing, in music theory, general music knowledge, and to grant certificates as Fellows, Associates, or Choir Masters to members of the guild who pass examinations. Membership is not limited to organists but is open to all professions and members of the public with an interest in organs, organ music and choral music. The guild was chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York in 1896, with the authority to grant certificates of associate or fellow to members who passed examinations. The Charlotte Chapter exists alongside the city’s longest-standing arts organizations and since 1947 has sponsored choir festivals, organ recitals, choral clinics, clergy-organist events with guest speakers, study groups, scholarships for local young organists, and performance venues for locally and nationally recognized artists. The chapter will be honoring and recognizing its 75th anniversary year from September, 2022 through June, 2023.

Anniversary Vision Statement:
