CHARLOTTE, NC (News Release) — The Charlotte Symphony’s (CSO) 2021–22 season celebrates three major milestones: a return to live and in-person concerts following a season away; the Symphony’s 90th anniversary; and Christopher Warren-Green’s valedictory season as Music Director, after twelve seasons on the podium. The season will honor the Maestro’s legacy of musical excellence in Charlotte before he takes on the titles of Conductor Laureate and Music Adviser to the Charlotte Symphony. The CSO is also proud to announce that Bank of America will expand its partnership with the Orchestra by presenting the Classical Series for the 2021–22 season.
Throughout the season, the Charlotte Symphony will offer a diverse range of programming that uplifts, entertains, and educates — from epic symphonic works like Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Vaughan Williams’s Dona Nobis Pacem to Broadway hits, sci-fi movie music, educational family concerts, and more. The CSO’s 2021–22 season showcases its commitment to serving the people of Charlotte, and beyond, through compelling programming, exceptional musical experiences, and deep engagement with the community.
“I am extremely honored to be appointed Conductor Laureate and Music Adviser of the Charlotte Symphony,” said Music Director Christopher Warren-Green. “As I look back on the past 12 seasons I’m incredibly proud of how much the orchestra has grown — especially the major strides we’ve made in education. From a small start at Winterfield Elementary to the everexpanding Project Harmony and new in-school initiatives, the CSO is reaching more and more young people throughout the community. I will certainly treasure many magical experiences with the Orchestra, particularly our performances of the Mahler symphonies. Charlotte has been a large part of mine and Rosemary’s lives and we will always remain dedicated to our CSO family.”
The Charlotte Symphony continues to bring music to the community through programs like Music for All, which allows members of the Charlotte community on public assistance to attend most CSO concerts for $1 per ticket and Healing Hands, a program that sends ensembles into senior centers, recreation centers, libraries, homeless shelters, and online to enrich lives through the restorative power of music.
You can also find the CSO out in the community at your local brewery for On Tap, the popular series featuring an intimate orchestra experience within the laid-back environment of a neighborhood brewery. (Details for the 2021–22 On Tap Series to be announced at a later date)
