Communities define themselves by the things they hold dear, and because this community appreciates the arts, it supports its own symphony. In 1951, the orchestra held rehearsals in a school gym, and today many of our season-ticket subscribers are second-generation symphony supporters. |
It's very exciting, especially when they get to try their hand with the instruments. |
Not all symphonies do that. |
Rule of thumb is that every concert set, which includes rehearsals, costs about $10,000. |
These are artistic professionals who have spent a great deal of time and money learning their art. Unfortunately, they often need to perform for several symphonies and opera houses at a time. |
Under the direction of our maestro Alasdair Neale, we feel this concert series offers a wide repertoire. |
