The beauty and majesty of live orchestral music is returning to Morehead on Sunday, Sept. 15, when the Cave Run Symphony Orchestra opens its 11th full season with a concert entitled “Our Fragile Earth” at 3 p.m. in the Morehead Conference Center.
It will be the first of four CRSO performances in the 2024-25 season and will be followed by “Hometown Holiday” on 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.
“The Board of Directors is pleased to remind everyone that we are proudly maintaining our distinction as the smallest city in Kentucky with its own symphony orchestra,” said Dr. Craig Burrows, CRSO board chair.
He added that Dr. Terry Durbin is returning for his seventh season as resident conductor of the 60-piece musical ensemble comprised of professional and semi-professional musicians, music professors and teachers, and highly qualified student musicians.
The orchestra is operated by the Cave Run Symphony Society, a non-profit corporation under Kentucky law. Those supporting the CRSO with gifts, grants, sponsorships and program advertising automatically become Society members. Sawstone Brewing hosts a cash bar before and after each concert.
Also serving on the CRSO Board of Directors are Dr. Mark Minor, Dr. Thomas Pappas, Keith Kappes, Dr. Ewell Scott, Dr. Lori Baruth, Dr. Yvonne Baldwin, Bill Shely, Judy Yancy, Dr. Don Grant, and Monti Lloyd.
“We encourage everyone who loves music to help support the orchestra with gifts or sponsorships or program book advertising or ticket purchases,” Burrows added. “Information about how to help the CRSO is available on our website at CRSOmusic.org.”
He said this season’s sponsorships, and program advertising rates are the same as last year. Adult ticket prices are $15 for individual concerts. A special “early bird” price of $25 for season tickets purchased by Sept. 16th also is available.
Students and/or children of all ages receive free admission to each concert, and everyone gets free admission to the holiday performance on Dec. 7.
“We are excited about a new season of wonderful orchestral music from these talented musicians who truly make these hills come alive with the sound of their incredible performances,” Dr. Burrows added.
