THSO Annual Report 2022-23

2022/2023

I am so pleased to share our 2022-2023 Annual Report with the Terre Haute and Wabash Valley community! The Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra (THSO) is very proud of the impact we made on our community during our 97th season as the oldest professional symphony orchestra in the state of Indiana . This season was particularly exciting for THSO musicians because we had the chance to feature concerto soloists and guest artists from our own orchestra . It is amazing to be reminded of the phenomenal talent we have right here in Terre Haute! I love creating music with my superb colleagues and performing for our community. I am incredibly proud that we continued several successful community engagement programs this season including our Tour of the Orchestra presentations through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Indiana State , our Symphony Sundays chamber music series at Westminster Village , and our vital Adventure Concerts for area 4th graders. We are extremely grateful to foundations and sponsors who made these events possible and FREE to attend for our patrons and students. These programs have allowed us to provide additional performance opportunities for our musicians, continue educating our community, and encourage young students to pick up an instrument and make music. We also continue to share our Supper at the Symphony events and chamber music concerts through our THSO Presents! series with the help of corporate sponsors and individual gifts. Thank you! We truly cannot do what we do without YOU. To the best symphony fans in the world , thank you for attending our events, donating to our Symphony Fund, sponsoring our concerts, advertising in our program book, or simply spreading the word about the THSO. Terre Haute is incredibly lucky to have one of the best regional orchestras in the country, and it’s because of you. Thank you!
