Thank you

 Dear Friends,

We wrapped up our extraordinary 2020-21 Season this past week, and I wanted to express my gratitude to everyone who made it possible: the CSO Board of Directors, staff, musicians, volunteers, sponsors, patrons, donors, and community partners. 

This season was not perfect, but I am very proud of what we have accomplished:

-We performed an eclectic collection of chamber to small-orchestra size works.

-We pivoted and remained calm and flexible as we navigate every twist and turns that came in our way.

-We made new friends and community partners who enabled us to perform all over the region.

What I witnessed this season was nothing short of a victory. Every member of CSO family came together to make live performances happen in Chattanooga. I saw courage, creativity, flexibility, patience, humor, passion, gratitude, grit, and determination. I know this season made us stronger and even more committed to our mission.

I look forward to seeing you all again next season. Until then, please say safe and healthy.

With much gratitude, respect, and love,

Kayoko
