a message from THE PRESIDENT

Dear Symphony Friends,

I am delighted to welcome you to 36th season of the Plano Symphony Orchestra celebrating the Best of the Best! This season is a testament to our commitment to provide outstanding artistic programming year after year. We look forward to welcoming back several of our best loved guest artists, including The Five Browns, Broadway star Ashley Brown, and Grammy Award-winning Mariachi Los Camperos!

In addition to a stellar artistic season, the 2018-2019 season will be full of fun and meaningful social, educational, and service events for the entire community to experience, helping us fulfill our mission – to inspire, educate, entertain and involve the children, youth and adults of our community in the enjoyment of great music!

Our mission drives everything we do. As a leader in arts education, the Plano Symphony Orchestra reaches over 40,000 area youth annually through its EncoreYouth Music Programs, which include School Concerts, the Family Series, the Instrument Petting Zoo, the Collin County Young Artist Competition, as well as our scholarship program.

We also believe in the healing power of music. Through our Healing Notes program, our musicians perform regularly at retirement homes, Alzheimer’s centers, and other senior living facilities as well as at the John R. Roach Juvenile Detention Center in Collin County.

If you are not already involved with us, please consider this a personal invitation to join our symphony family. We are a community-minded group of music-lovers from all walks of life who support the Arts in Plano and throughout the North Texas area. While there are numerous ways to get involved, I especially encourage everyone to join our Guild, which is an invaluable part of engaging and connecting our symphony community.

Finally, we would love to welcome you at one of our premier fundraising events. In November, we will present our Debutantes at their elegant Debutante Ball. Then in March, we will host our annual Plano Symphony Orchestra Gala. This year’s theme is Crescendo! Music in Motion, and we hope to see you there for a night of fun and fundraising!

Warmest regards, Erin K. Stewart President, Plano Symphony Orchestra Board of Directors Photo by Gittings, Official Photographer of the Plano Symphony
