In 2022, we experienced world-class guest artists and remarkable music in Overture Hall with more than 15,000 of you! We spent more than 160 hours in the hall between rehearsals and performances for our Symphony concerts alone. We welcomed 16 guest artists to the stage plus 3 actors from American Players Theatre, members and directors of 3 local choirs, and members of the Orchestra. If you attended or supported our concerts in any way, thank you!
Relive the moments from all our 2022 Symphony concerts, plus The Final Forte 2022 and our September 2022 Organ concert, below. Each story features photos, reviews, and quotes from audience members about the performance. We hope you enjoy this recap and to see you at the Symphony in 2023!
