Carmel Symphony Orchestra announces
spectacular, diverse 2022-23 season line-up
CARMEL IN — A rousing tribute to the Queen of Soul. The very best from the master of the movie score. A fiery Latin celebration. A reimagined Holiday Pops.
These are just a few of the delights awaiting fans as the Carmel Symphony Orchestra (CSO) announces its 47th season, a schedule filled to the brim with an exceptional mix of classical and pops performances.
“After experiencing three seasons interrupted in ways none of us could have envisioned, our musicians and our CSO fans are more than ready to return to the Palladium and revel in some truly great music!” enthused Carmel Symphony Orchestra Artistic Director Janna Hymes. “We so appreciate everyone hanging in there with us throughout the ups and downs of COVID, and to reward you we’ve programmed an upcoming season of exceptional performances, music both familiar yet unexpected from the CSO!”
The Carmel Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1975, is a professional orchestra that is among the resident companies of the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts. The majority of its concerts are performed at the Palladium, but the orchestra will venture beyond that venue in the new season for two performances:
Sunday, July 3, 7p
Daniel’s Vineyard, 9061 N 700 W, McCordsville
Monday, July 4, 8p
CarmelFest on the Gazebo Stage, 3 Civic Square, Carmel.
Programs of patriotic music to complement Fourth of July festivities will be performed on both days.
An education program exclusive to students from area schools will be presented on September 27 when CSO brings Beethoven Lives Upstairs: A Classical Kids Live! Event to the Palladium.
Those three performances set the stage for the official debut of the orchestra’s 2022-23 season. The schedule includes:
