It was an evening of breathtaking music, emotions, and a historic moment as Josep Caballé Domenech was bestowed with the esteemed title of Conductor Laureate for the first time in our 97-year history.

Joined by select members of our board of directors, it was an honor to have Pam Shockley-Zalabak present Maestro Caballé-Domenech with this well-deserved recognition.

Throughout his tenure, he has graced our stage with his extraordinary talent, unwavering dedication, and an unparalleled ability to connect with our musicians and audience.

The energy in the concert hall was electrifying yet somber as Maestro Caballé-Domenech led us through the grand finale of our season, the majestic 9th Symphony by Mahler. It was a mesmerizing performance that touched the depths of our souls and left an everlasting impression on all who were fortunate enough to be present.

Thank you, Maestro Josep Caballé Domenech, for gracing us with your talent, passion, and unwavering dedication. Your time with us will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we are looking forward to the future as our new Conductor Laureate.
