2016-17 Season Announcement
Welcome to the 2016-2017 North State Symphony season! In my second season as Music Director for this wonderful organization, we continue to bring you music that will excite and delight you. From familiar classics to music never heard before, I have taken requests from the community and orchestra to formulate a season that is fun and incredibly diverse.
This season we kick off our “NSS POPS!” series dedicated to bringing a wider variety of music to you. These fun performances will have many different themes and access everything from movie music to popular band covers and tributes. We are YOUR orchestra and in addition to our beloved subscription series that will range from Ravel to Mahler this year, we are excited to bring more of your favorite music to you. Make sure you attend the pre-concert talks one hour before each classical performance to gain a deeper insight to the performers and pieces on the programs.
This season is a truly exciting time of growth for the North State Symphony and I am brimming with anticipation to bring to you and also experience this incredible music with all of you!
Musically yours,
Scott Seaton
