Dr. Craig Burrows, a physician at UK – St. Claire HealthCare, was re-elected chair of the Board of Directors of the Cave Run Symphony Orchestra Society at the organization’s annual membership meeting on Aug. 15.

“I’m pleased to have this opportunity to continue an active role in the life of our community orchestra as we enter our 11th season of outstanding music,” said Burrows, starting his fourth year as board chair. “We had a great annual meeting, and our supporters are excited about sharing the orchestra with more local and regional residents.”

He noted that the CRSO and other community-based arts organizations in Kentucky and the entire nation are still recovering from the negative effects of the pandemic on giving and audience sizes.

In his closing remarks, Burrows encouraged all supporters of the Cave Run Symphony to become more involved by encouraging others to purchase season tickets, make gifts, buy program advertising, underwrite sponsorships, and invite others to experience the beauty of orchestral music.

He said last year’s successful “early bird” season ticket campaign would be repeated before the opening concert on Sept. 15.

In other business at the annual meeting, three additional persons also were renamed to leadership posts. They included Dr. Mark Minor, vice chair; Monti Lloyd, secretary; and Dr. Thomas Pappas, treasurer.

Dr. Don Grant, Dr. Ewell Scott and Judith Yancy were reappointed to three-year terms on the 11-member board.

A monthly giving program is being started to allow orchestra supporters to make gifts automatically every 30 days from their bank accounts or credit cards.

It was announced that Dr. Terry Durbin would return for his seventh season as resident conductor for the series starting Sunday, Sept. 15, at 3 p.m. at the Morehead Conference Center with the theme of “Our Fragile Earth”.

Other concerts and themes are “Hometown Holiday”, Saturday, Dec. 7, at 8 p.m.; “Symphonic Stories” on Sunday, Feb. 23, at 3 p.m.; and “Great Scot!” on Sunday, April 6, at 3 p.m.

Morehead is the smallest community in Kentucky with its own symphony orchestra. The 60-piece ensemble was founded in 2013. It is supported by a dedicated group of individuals and public and private organizations that appreciate orchestral music for its educational and cultural values.
