President’s Message January 2025
Happy New Year! As we begin 2025, I want to take a moment to reflect on the remarkable journey we've shared together over the past year and look ahead to the exciting opportunities that await us.
2024 was a wonderful year of collaboration for our organization. Whether it was through the concerts and performances or meetings and collegiality, we witnessed firsthand the power of music to bring people together and inspire change. Each note played and all the hard work behind the scenes contributed to our shared success, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
Looking to 2025, I am filled with optimism and anticipation for what the year holds. We have an exciting lineup of performances and events planned that will continue to strengthen our community and nurture the next generation of musicians including the addition of our Intermediate Honors Orchestra and exploring the addition of a modern band opportunity in our region. We remain committed to our mission of making music accessible to all, enriching lives, and fostering a deep appreciation for the arts throughout the region. If the January 3-5 Orchestra weekend is any indication, this is going to be an amazing year!
As we begin this new year, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to all of our members, volunteers, and supporters. Your dedication and passion for music make everything we do possible. Together, we will continue to build on the solid foundation we’ve established and create new opportunities for growth and inspiration in 2025 and beyond.
Here’s to a year filled with music, connection, and continued success. I cannot tell you all how proud I am to be able to say that I am the president of this amazing organization.
Wishing you all a joyful, fulfilling, and harmonious New Year.
