    About the Charlotte Symphony

    Founded in 1932, the Charlotte Symphony aspires to serve the whole community through music that educates, entertains and enriches. As the largest arts organization in Charlotte, the symphony plays to 200,000 audience members each year in 90 concerts featuring classical music to pops. The symphony also reaches more than 12,000 students in 55 schools throughout the area in pursuit of its mission to provide musical education. As the largest employer of individual artists in Charlotte, the symphony generates an annual economic impact exceeding $15 million. The symphony welcomes contributions; as with most performing arts organizations, ticket revenues cover only about one-third of expenses.

    More Facts

    Internationally acclaimed conductor, Christopher Warren-Green, has led the CSO as Music Director since 2010 and recently renewed his contract through 2016. He is also the music director for the London Chamber Orchestra and served as the conductor for Prince William and Catherine Middleton’s wedding.

    The Symphony sponsors two Youth Orchestras serving more than 160 children from 4th through 12th grades.

    CSO Pulse, the young affiliates group, was formed to bring young people together around concerts, ultimately working to expand the Charlotte Symphony audience base.

    The Oratorio Singers of Charlotte, founded in 1952, is the acclaimed volunteer chorus of the Charlotte Symphony and includes the 140-voice main chorus and the 50-voice Chamber Singers.

    The Symphony Guild of Charlotte, Inc. and the Charlotte Symphony Youth Orchestras Parents’ Association engage community members to participate in youth orchestra programs.

      “Great cities have great symphony orchestras,” according to Anna Drake, 26, president of CSO PULSE, Charlotte Symphony Orchestra’s young affiliate group. “We have a wonderful business environment in Charlotte and it is equally important that we have a vibrant cultural scene to match. People want to be in a community that is diverse and dynamic and that is what the symphony and the entire arts scene offer.”

      The organization is only a year old but already has a membership of 75.

      “Being part of assembling such an enthusiastic group has been amazing,” Drake said. “The camaraderie and friendships made amongst people with common interests and goals are really special.”

      Membership benefits include unique opportunities to network with other music lovers and CSO musicians, such as behind the scenes tours, private receptions and meeting guest performers. Collapse
