Letter from the President of the Board

We’ve been patient; we’ve been missing live music, and missing hearing it together. I’m thrilled to experience it once again as Symphony NH begins its 100th year of musical gifts to our state.

In celebrating this extraordinary milestone, we are also celebrating the communities and people of New Hampshire with performances throughout the state – Nashua, Concord, Manchester, Berlin, Lebanon – in an auditorium, garden, opera house, theater, church, and college. From our opening “Tribute to New Hampshire” with the stunning Firebird Suite by Stravinsky, to “Momemtum” with Schubert’s elegant Unfinished Symphony, we invite all audiences to experience the power of music.

I’m honored to serve as president of the board of directors of New Hampshire’s oldest professional orchestra. I’m proud of the trustees, patrons, donors, and sponsors who are committed to ensuring that we are around for the next 100 years! I’m proud of the musicians who have persevered through one of the most tumultuous times in our history, and I’m proud of our Music Director, Roger Kalia, who brings talent, energy, innovation, and inspiration to our orchestra.

Music is the antidote to isolation and stress; it has the power to transcend walls and boundaries with its language. I’m pleased to join our executive director, Deanna Hoying, in our goal of connecting communities made up of diverse audiences. Thank you for joining us!

Sincerely,

Mary Jordan
