It is my great pleasure to invite you to discover and experience
the Spartanburg Philharmonic in its 2007-08 season. It is my
hope that this season’s concert will unite our community
through the power of music.
Earth, Man & Imagination...
This season celebrates our wonderful planet and how man has
used the imagination to express the beauty of this earth and
his or her mind. The Spartanburg Philharmonic brings you a series
of concerts with the vital compositions of this genre. We explore
Beethoven with his towering “Emporer” Piano Concerto,
his wonderful Violin Concerto and the “Pastorale”
Symphony. We celebrate Shostakovich in his powerful fifth Symphony,
among other great highlights. In April 2008 we will perform
the magical Brahms “A German Requiem”, which will
bring our city together through the participation of its finest
choral singers and soloists. We highlight great women composers
in our Mother Earth concert at the newly opened Chapman Center.
We also feature outstanding soloists of international caliber
and I hope you will not miss the chance to “wow”
at their gifts to offer. I am especially excited about each
and every one of them performing to you! We also have a special
family pops concert with a team of 7 outstanding soloists all
one evening! Proteus 7, who will join the orchestra for our
new Monstorworks concert.
I would like to acknowledge and thank the generosity of our
sponsors, board members, friends of the philharmonic, and staff
for providing such a wonderful season ahead for all the community
and visitors to the greater Spartanburg area to enjoy!
We have a unique opportunity to share this time together. I
invite you to make a note of each concert in your personal calendars,
to become season subscribers, and to join me for the 2007-8
Season as we make history in the city of Spartanburg as it remains…
………Alive with Music!
