Friends,

We have had a wonderful year of performing new music, gathering new audiences, and working with some amazing composers. One highlight for me was performing John Adams' Son of Chamber Symphony. That piece was one of the first "modern" compositions that I fell in love with as a horn player, and it was great to work with Jordan and the rest of our ensemble to bring it to life last May. (The first clip is available here!) I have thoroughly enjoyed performing all the works we've premiered. I've also enjoyed getting to meet many of you, our fans, and supporters!

In the past few days, we've begun our Season 2 campaign. We're passionate about our music and it's a privilege to share it with you. I do hope you'll consider giving today, and I thank you for your continued support! And, if you live in the area, please join me for a glass of wine, seasonal hors d’oeuvres, and the music of my friends, at A Taste of Symphony Number One. Hope to see you there! 

Best Wishes,

Selena Maytum

Director of Development, Principal Horn
