QSOA

Reflecting upon the 2008-2009 QSOA season, there is an immediate awareness of how quickly our artistic world can change. The daily news has been flooded with flashes about the economy and how those challenges stream down to affect our lives. Every household confronts the new economy with their own strategies. One of the most impressive local responses to our current culture has been the increase in attendance at our Orchestra and Chorus concerts, along with continued and even strengthened individual support from our patrons. As your Music Director, and on behalf of our entire organization, let me offer my deepest thanks for your unwavering commitment to supporting and maintaining the artistic quality of life that is so integral to our region.

The 2009-2010 season includes a number of premier performances by the Symphony along with the return of standard works that audiences embrace. Guest artists include violist Istvan Szabó and guitarist Petar Jankovic. The True Men a cappella singers will join us, as will the choruses of Culver-Stockton College and Quincy University. The season promises to be musically rewarding and fulfilling from the perspective of the audience and performers. Don’t wait to purchase your season tickets! Be a part of the tradition and innovation of the New Encounters season.
