Each of our concerts is a special event, with music and wine prior to the concert, the concert itself, and an opportunity to meet some of the musicians in the lobby afterwards. Our Music Director Darko Butorac and CEO Mandy Stringer started planning this season’s concerts about two years ago. For each performance our musicians, all of whom are paid professionals, have rehearsed with Darko in four sessions of 2.5 hours each. Often the final rehearsal is freely open to the public. Most of our musicians started learning their instruments as young children, and I never cease to wonder at their skill and artistry. This is my final year as Board Chair. You, Mandy, Darko, and our board members have made the past four years a most rewarding time. Every board member supports the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra with their advocacy, volunteering, and personal financial contributions. Like all arts organizations, the board is heavily engaged in raising funds to operate and sustain the orchestra, and each of them make significant personal contributions. It has been an honor to serve with these dedicated volunteers. Looking back, I’m proud of our free Spooktacular concert at Cascades Park, education concerts, Family Concert, Holiday Concert, “Requiem of Resistance” held this past spring, and our Night at the Oscars concert which have provided varied musical experiences to the community. As Chair, I’ve heard from and spoken to many people about our Orchestra. When approached, I always ask if they ever learned to play an instrument. Almost always, the answer is yes. Those of us in the concert audience know what music has done for us, and we are grateful for what the Orchestra brings to our lives. So, I’m especially proud of Link Up, our partnership with Leon County Schools, which enabled nearly every 4th grade student to learn and play an instrument. For most of them, it was their first time in a concert hall, the first time hearing a symphony orchestra live, and of course, the first time making music with an orchestra. I was there and saw the impact of this program first hand; it was successful and extremely rewarding. Our Board is committed to continuing to bring these events and programs to our community thanks to the generous support of you, our patrons, sponsors, and funding partners. The Masterworks concerts you will hear this season will entertain, entice and challenge you. Some of the music you will hear has been in the classical performance cannon for over 300 hundred years. To hear a masterwork is a remarkable thing, and each presentation of the piece is a unique creation of the musicians, the place and era in which it’s played, and the audience’s response. The composition ties us to each other and to other audiences, past, present, and future. Please enjoy tonight’s concert, and I look forward to meeting and talking with you afterwards.
