Welcome to your CSO!

Welcome to the Charlotte Symphony’s Annual Gala, a night of exceptional music and celebration!

This evening, we are honored to welcome the return of our esteemed Conductor Laureate, Christopher Warren-Green, who graces our stage alongside the legendary soprano Renée Fleming. The exceptional talent they bring, combined with the incredible musicians of the Charlotte Symphony, is sure to leave us all in awe.

Tonight also marks the beginning of the Symphony’s 92nd season, a season that promises an exciting and eclectic range of concerts across our Classical, Pops, Movie, and Family series along with a host of special events that deserve a place on your calendar.

Your presence here tonight is a testament to your belief in the transformative power of live music. The act of gathering together in this hall to share in this experience transcends language and differences, and forges connections, nurtured through the incredible gift of music, which will resonate long after the final note has faded.

Our mission extends far beyond the boundaries of this concert hall. It is about enriching lives through music, making it accessible to diverse audiences, and nurturing the talents of the next generation of musicians and music lovers. Your support, in its many forms, enables us to continue this important work.

So, here’s to a night of extraordinary music! I look forward to seeing you at the Symphony again soon. Enjoy the performance.
