Hello Guild Members!

Fall is here and our year is off to the races! Read on to see the highlights of our Fall season as well as that of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra.

Beat Beethoven 5K is BACK this Fall! Lace up your shoes and get ready to rock to Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Scheduled for November 12-14, this fun event will be virtual so you can participate from anywhere!
More details HERE!

The third installment of the Music Major College Preparation Seminar Series will take place on Saturday, November 13th. This innovative program has been successful and informative for our youth musicians! Learn more about the scheduled programs and what they offer HERE.

The Charlotte Symphony is celebrating its 90th year with opening performances the weekend of October 15-17. Don your mask and bask in the pleasure of a LIVE CSO performance! For ticket information, CLICK HERE.

SAVE THE DATE! Among the highlights of the CSO season is clarinetist Taylor Marino soloing in Mozart's Clarinet Concerto on November 19 and 20. Taylor is the son of The Symphony Guild's Staci and Adam Marino, and is almost as active as his parents in all he does for our organization. We will be celebrating Taylor's performance by hosting a brunch in his honor on Sunday, November 21. An invitation and details will be coming soon.

The Second Annual Holiday Ornament will launch in the next few weeks. This seasonal decoration will have variations of stitching levels for all types of stitchers. We plan to host a sit and stitch in December. Stay tuned!

Volunteers Needed! The CSO is now requiring Background Checks for any individual who is volunteering at a CSO-sponsored event with children (Young Artists Competition, MPZ, etc). Learn more about their reason for this new policy and how to complete the process to ENROLL HERE.
