Congratulations, Jason!
This year we are even more grateful than usual for the leadership of our maestro, Jason Weinberger. The current season marks his 10th anniversary with us, first as Music Director and now in an expanded role as Artistic Director & CEO. Over the past decade we have grown to an unprecedented level of artistic excellence through collaborations with today’s most dynamic young artists and creative presentations that reinvent the symphonic experience. Jason’s commitment to innovation has brought favorite masterpieces to life in fresh ways and exposed us to intriguing and rarely performed compositions by living composers.
Jason gives us the power and passion of symphonic music. We hope you will consider giving back in celebration of his work here in our community. Join us in our Ten for 10 campaign with a donation of $10 (or more!) in Jason’s honor.
