Music has always been a means to express our deepest feelings when words would not suffice. Perhaps that is why music provides solace and comfort to so many, as it did during our performance with Yo-Yo Ma on September 11. Every member of the Colorado Springs Symphony family joins with all Americans in extending deepest sympathies to all those who lost loved ones and those who are still searching as a result of the events of September 11. We pray that our music will be a vehicle which delivers a message of peace, comfort and hope for the future as it has during so many tragedies of the past.
Music is an art form meant to be experienced communally.
As our shared grief unites us, we offer you the healing gift of music. We remind ourselves each moment how fortunate we are to be able to do so. This weekend, we will again come together for a musical experience in hopes of sharing our message of unity and peace. As a symphony orchestra, it is what we can offer in these troubled times. We encourage you to join us.
