UPCOMING EVENTS

Dear Symphony League Friends:

My best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2004! The Symphony is geared up for the new year and preparations are underway for our January and February concerts. Each of these concerts features an outstanding guest artist of international stature. In January we will hear Dickran Atamian performing the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1. And in February, cellist Marcio Carniero will travel from his home in Germany to perform with us in the Shostakovich Cello Concerto No. 1. I hope you'll be with us for these incredible evenings of music!

We are also busily planning the 2004-2005 season. The most important change for next season is that we are moving our concerts to Saturday evenings. I hope those of you with young families will be able to take advantage of this new schedule. Our Master Series dates are: October 16, November 20, March 5, and April 23. The Holiday Concert will be on December 17, and the Pops Concert will be January 20. Mark your calendars, and be sure to purchase your season tickets early. You'll receive announcements soon regarding concert repertoire and season ticket purchases.

Thank you for your continued support of the Symphony! I'll see you at the concert.
