Founded as America’s first statewide orchestra in 1932, and traveling 18,500 miles throughout the state to engage 250,000 people each year, NCS is committed to presenting artistically excellent performances that delight and inspire—and with ticket sales increasing 50% since 2010, it is clear that the Symphony is delivering on that promise. The 2018/19 season proves that orchestral music is thriving in North Carolina: NCS will collaborate with artists and organizations to present classical music experiences distinctive to North Carolina life; commission new works by North Carolina natives; perform masterworks in new contexts; and offer broad variety in its programming—in and outside of the concert hall— to develop new audiences. “Each work we present has a story to share, and our ever-present hope is that our audiences connect to these powerful musical narratives—whether it is the triumph in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, the humor in Strauss’ depiction of Don Quixote, or the history of North Carolina’s native people reflected in a new work,” says NCS Music Director Grant Llewellyn. -

The 2019/20 season culminates Llewellyn’s defining accomplishments during his many years with the Symphony. Since 2004, he has developed NCS into the outstanding orchestra it is today, while embracing the Symphony’s dual legacies of statewide service and music education. Llewellyn has been instrumental in building partnerships with fellow community organizations to create unique live music experiences—both in and outside of the concert hall—and has consistently crafted forward-thinking programs that give voice to new art and bring vibrancy to repertoire staples. “In my final season as Music Director of this great orchestra, it will be my privilege to hear the insights that our incredibly talented musicians will bring to our repertoire—which, in many cases, is repertoire that has been particularly meaningful to me through the years,” says Llewellyn. “In crafting this season’s programs and inviting our spectacular guest artists, it is my hope and belief that my favorites will be favorites for our audiences, as well.” “The many exceptional soloists taking the stage with NCS and the monumental works programmed speak to the artistic caliber to which Grant has elevated NCS during his tenure,” says NCS President & CEO Sandi Macdonald. -
