A JOURNEYOF IllUmINATION

While the 2014-15 Season reflects the maestro’s quarter of a century at the helm of the orchestra —bringing light, understanding and appreciation to music throughout his tenure — it also envisions the future. Carl St.Clair has carefully handcrafted a season steeped in music with deep meaning for him, as he is surrounded by friends who also happen to be some of the classical music world’s biggest luminaries: Yo-Yo Ma, Itzak Perlman and Joshua Bell. The biggest season ever — it includes more special guests, stellar 21st century composers and some of St.Clair’s greatest mentors and dearest friends. From the innovative Music Unwound programs, designed to contextualize and enhance the musical experience, to Symphonic Voices, the highly popular opera and vocal initiative, to the critically acclaimed American Composers Festival, the season is rich with inventive and forward-thinking projects.

“I don’t need to be celebrated,” insists St.Clair. “I want to know that the values I possess and, in turn, the Symphony’s core values are being celebrated, and that the orchestra’s future is secured. For me, it’s a time to pay homage to our community, a chance to say thank you to our patrons.”
