Executive Director’s Message Jo May Salonen Welcome to a concert that celebrates a beginning and an end! We begin by performing our first ever Broadway concert, in collaboration with Black Tie Broadway. We’re excited to have the orchestra share the stage with our talented guest artists as they perform your Broadway favorites! We plan to make this an annual tradition and are thrilled to have you join us for My Fair Broadway. Thank you to the Tremper Family for making this new concert possible. This weekend also marks the end of our 2021-2022 concert season and we are grateful that you stuck with us along the way. The pandemic threw a couple of curveballs, but we all made it through and look forward to next season. Thank you for being patient and kind, supportive and generous, and true supporters of the Missoula Symphony Orchestra and our Music Director, Julia Tai. Season tickets for next season go on sale July 1st and you won’t want to miss the concerts! Our season opener features a dynamic duet performance with famed concert violinist, Robert McDuffie joined by his lovely sister, Margery Whatley – now a faculty member of the UM School of Music. Robert McDuffie is one of the top violin soloists in the world and we are so excited to have him share our stage. Ms. Tai has programmed an exciting season featuring works by Mendelssohn, Sibelius, John Williams, and the exciting world premiere of a percussion concerto, plus much more! Additionally, the Chorale will join us for Holiday Pops! and perform in April, singing the beautiful Dona Nobis Pacem by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Thank you for being with us this season and we look forward to seeing you at Symphony in the Park on Sunday, August 14th.
