Welcome to the Greenville Symphony’s 77th season of music!
Our orchestra’s mission is to offer the highest quality artistry, educate and enrich, and bring joy and inspiration to our region. As I enter my second term as president, I have never been prouder of the way we are fulfilling that mission and expanding on it to meet the needs of our growing community.
I am thrilled to welcome our 6th Music Director, Lee Mills. Many of you were part of the process to select him and have had the chance to learn a bit about his impressive accolades, his extensive experience, and his energizing approach to music. He brings all that and more to the podium this season, as he gets to know our community and begins to understand the core of who we are. As we spend this first season together, take every opportunity to introduce yourself and share your story with Lee. He is anxious to meet each of you and to serve our community by sharing the unifying power of music. Lee’s partnerships with Executive Director Jessica Satava and our extraordinary musicians promise to be strong and effective as we begin a new era for the orchestra.
My gratitude for our musicians, board, and staff whose hard work has made this incredible season possible is unending.
On behalf of the Greenville Symphony Association, I thank each of you for choosing to participate in music with us. Through attending the concerts, telling friends about our performances, offering feedback, investing as donors, opening your home as part of the Musician Host Program, and volunteering your time, you have made this orchestra the cornerstone of the arts in the Upstate. Strong, creative, and always growing, just like our beloved Greenville.
Enjoy the performance!
Yours,
Cathy Jones, President
Greenville Symphony Association Board of Directors
