Recap of Annual Luncheon
Many thanks to our guest speaker Jessica Satava, Executive Director of the GSO, who gave us an overview of the concert season and insight into the workings of the GSO and how its new music director was selected.
We look forward to seeing Lee Mills at the podium this fall. He signed a four-year contract that will secure his artistic leadership through the spring of 2028.
Our volunteer of the year, Faith Davis, received the esteemed Niven Bowl for her committed support at rehearsal dinners. Thank you to ALL our volunteers for their donations of time, energy and funds throughout the season!
