“Music Director Alain Trudel was on the podium, and the audience was on their feet.”

Dear friends, Our work continues in the 2020-2021 season as we strive to inspire our region to come together though the performing arts. As a symphony orchestra, we aim to create musical moments that leap from time and remain forever in our memories. We aim for moments that move us all to think differently, to laugh, to love, to maybe even cry. We aim for moments that make us lean forward in our seats, hold our breath, and hold hands with the ones we love. These are the magical stories that our musicians and performers work to create. These are the moments that bring people together.

It is with this in mind that we title this brochure “live art.” It has intentional dual meaning.

As an adjective, we produce live art. Our musicians, dancers, and performers are the art, and it is created right before your eyes by people. It is created in the moment and can never be produced again in the same way. Because of this, live art seizes us—you, the audience—to feel, sense, and hear new things because it’s elusive and passes us by. It reminds us be present.

As a verb, we live art. We experience it, and it changes us. Art can pour through us—through our fingers, our breath, and our bodies as we take it in. It can become a part of you—in your ears, your pulse, and your spirit. It is why we leave a performance a little different from when we entered it.I t’s transfor- mative.

Because our artform is live and living, it joins us together. This is why each performance and our memories of it can be defined as much by the people who share it with us in the audience as it is by the performance on stage. Our performing arts create community, and at a time when our world stretch- es us in many different directions at once, we hope you can slow down and join us in lasting musical moments.

Welcome to our 2020-2021 season.
