Holiday GIving

The holidays are upon us, and so is the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera’s 90^th season! As the CSO returns to the first full season of in-person events, we’re thrilled to share more live music with you in the new year. This is what your support has made possible for 2023:

• Opera returns in March! Conducted by Pierre Vallet of the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the concert will celebrate the CSO’s renewed commitment to keep opera alive and accessible to music lovers like you. Renowned opera advisor Laura Brooks Rice will also be lending her expertise to this special evening of arias, duets and more. Learn more >
• The CSO’s new family concert series has already been a resounding success. Thanks to a new collaboration with Read 20 and Playful Evolving Monsters, the concerts promote early literacy and reading activities throughout our region. These concerts build on the other 50+ education performances that the orchestra brings year-round to Chattanooga families.
• The CSO is proud to honor Blues legend Bessie Smith by bringing full orchestral arrangements of her music to the stage in February. Community choral groups and renowned local composer Roland Carter come together to honor the defining contributions of Black artists to American music and culture. Learn more >

Our impact on the Greater Chattanooga area relies on the generosity of the music community and supporters like you, so please consider making a gift this holiday season.
