"The orchestra... [evokes] life on earth, with its joys, tumult, passion and poetry." - The Charlotte Observer

Under the baton of Albert-George Schram, the Charlotte Symphony debuts at An Appalachian Summer Festival with a pops program celebrating Leonard Bernstein's 90th birthday. Featuring Symphonic Dances from West Side Story as well as selections from the soundtracks of Porgy and Bess, Guys and Dolls and Carousel, an inviting evening of symphonic Broadway awaits!

The Charlotte Symphony Orchestra (CSO) is the largest and most active professional performing arts organization in the central Carolinas, employing more than 100 professional musicians, 64 on full-time contracts. Founded in 1932, it is also the only orchestra in the Southeast with a 76-year history of continuous programming. The Symphony's season runs from September through June, with more than 100 performances each year in a wide range of concerts - from Classical to Pops to Lollipops family concerts.

A native of the Netherlands, Schram serves as the Nashville Symphony's Resident Conductor and as Resident Staff Conductor of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra in Ohio. Schram, who also leads the symphony's "Summer Pops at SouthPark," is one of Charlotte's most engaging and recognized musical artists.
