Charlotte Symphony Orchestra Pops

Founded in 1932, the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra has grown into one of the premier musical institutions in the Southeast, giving some 100 performances each season and reaching an annual attendance of over 250,000 listeners. Throughout its history the orchestra has collaborated with the world's leading soloists, including Andrés Segovia, Alicia de Larrocha, Luciano Pavarotti, Isaac Stern, André Watts, Itzhak Perlman, Emanuel Ax and Yo-Yo Ma, among many others. Today, the Charlotte Symphony is the largest and most active professional performing arts organization in the central Carolinas. Committed to expanding the orchestral repertoire through commissioning, the Charlotte Symphony has offered the world premieres of more than 30 compositions.

Led by crowd-pleasing conductor Albert-George Schram, the Charlotte Symphony's Italian-themed performance on June 30 is entitled That's Amore!, and takes the audience on a journey through sweeping symphonic scores by popular composers.

This concert is the Charlotte Symphony's second appearance at An Appalachian Summer Festival and third appearance at the university. The symphony last performed at the festival in 2008, when they played to a spellbound audience.
