A Letter from the Philharmonic

We appreciate the community’s continued support of our programs, musicians and educational opportunities in the current climate. In our 93rd season, the Philharmonic is committed to inspiring, entertaining, and educating our community through the universal language of music.

We are excited to bring LIVE music back to Spartanburg with many opportunities for our community – all while keeping the health and safety of our musicians, staff and audience at the forefront of our concerts. The upcoming live 2021-22 season will feature invited guest conductors to our long-standing and popular Zimmerli Series. Of special note is a collaboration with Ballet Spartanburg for the first time in over 20 years for The Nutcracker; the world premiere of a work by Spartanburg Philharmonic Composer in Residence, Peter B. Kay; performances of Brahm’s Symphony No. 2; the Philharmonic premiere of Mahler’s Symphony No. 1; an all-John Williams program; the Espresso Series Silent Movie double feature of Charlie Chaplin as The Tramp & Buster Keaton’s One Week; and performances by the Sam Bush Band and powerhouse acoustic duo Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley. Read on within the pages of HearHere to learn more about our fantastic guest conductors and all of our programs for the Fall.

The Philharmonic has deepened our commitment to education and opportunities for youth with our Spartanburg Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (SPYO). Comprised of two orchestras, the SPYO fosters a lifelong appreciation for music while students learn important skills, such as listening, teamwork, and a strong work ethic. We hope you will join us for their first concert of the season on October 26th and celebrate the Courageous attitude of our youth!

We are thrilled to return to the concert hall and to continue to bring high quality LIVE music to Spartanburg. We continue to create an extraordinary impact on our City and County.

Sincerely,

Spartanburg Philharmonic
