The beauty and majesty of live symphonic music is returning to Morehead on Saturday, Dec. 4, when the Cave Run Symphony Orchestra opens its eighth season with a concert entitled “A Hometown Holiday” at 8 p.m. in the Morehead Conference Center.
It will be the CRSO’s first performance since the 2019-20 season was halted in March 2020 after only two concerts because of the coronavirus pandemic. The entire 2020-21 season was canceled for the same reason.
“Dr. Ewell Scott and I are very pleased to announce to our musicians, audience members, area residents, and community sponsors that the Cave Run Symphony Orchestra is being reactivated with a full season of four concerts and other events,” said Dr. Craig Burrows, vice president of CRSO’s Board of Directors. He added that Dr. Terry Durbin is returning for his fourth season as CRSO conductor.
Other concerts in the 2021-22 season will include Feb. 20, Love is in The Air; March 27, Fairy Tales; and April 24, High Five!
Scott, a retired physician, is president and co-founder of the orchestra, organized in 2013. The other co-founder is Dr. Donald R. Grant, retired music professor and former director of MSU’s School of Music, Theatre and Dance.
The orchestra is managed by the Cave Run Symphony Society, a non-profit, membership organization. Tax-deductible gifts to the CRSO are handled by the MSU Foundation, Inc.
Burrows reported that the CRSO’s current board members will remain in place until January 2022 when new elections will be held. Board membership also includes Dr. Lori Baruth, Sharon Jackson, Clyde James, Keith Kappes, Monti Lloyd, Lynne Pack, Dr. Thomas Pappas, Bill Shely, and Judy Yancy.
“Since the orchestra is supported by gifts, sponsorships, program book advertising, and ticket sales, we are launching our annual ticket drive and giving campaign,” Burrows added. “Information about program advertising rates and sponsorships also is available on our website at The CRSO.com.”
He said this season’s sponsorships, and program advertising rates will be the same as the 2019-20 season. Ticket prices will be $15 for individual concerts and $40 for a season ticket. Students receive free admission. Tickets will be available for individual concerts at CoffeeTree Books and Morehead Visitor Center. Cash or checks will be accepted for payment.
“We are excited about this wonderful community asset returning to full activity and all of us are looking forward to a great concert series,” Dr. Burrows added.
