Greetings from the Maestro

"Welcome to the 19th season of your North State Symphony!  The 2019-20 concert season encourages you to discover the excitement behind the symphonic experience, whether it be favorites from the ages or thrilling world premieres. This season celebrates Beethoven’s 250th birthday with both his Triple Concerto featuring returning soloist favorites, and his monumental Symphony No. 9 (“Choral”) to close the season in May. Throughout this season and especially through the powerfully uplifting, all-encompassing music of Beethoven, we are reminded of the strength of community and - especially during times of unexpected challenges - that we are better together.

If you have yet to experience the magic of the North State Symphony, please join us for our Masterworks series, our “NSS Pops!”, or plethora of other concerts that might “strike a chord” with you! Also, make sure to stop by the pre-concert talk one hour before each Masterworks performance to gain a deeper insight into the composers and pieces on the program. I am so privileged to work with the incredible musicians of the North State Symphony as we share the wonders of live performance and we look forward to seeing you at the symphony!"

Musically yours,
Scott Seaton
