A season of spectacular performances.
“The amazing musicians of the Cape Ann Symphony and I are looking forward to presenting to you the incredible pieces and soloists who will be featured in our 2024–25 Season. One of the great pleasures of live performance is the ability to experience together in person, masterpieces of musical giants from different places, cultures and times which adds to the richness of all of our inner emotional worlds. There is nothing like live performance. Music for musicians is empty without you and your presence. We thank you for your continued support and for joining us on a shared musical journey.”
— Yoichi Udagawa, Music Director & Conductor
