Led by Grammy-winning Music Director Kwamé Ryan, the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra is the oldest continuously operating symphony orchestra in the Carolinas and Charlotte’s most active performing arts group. Founded in 1932, the CSO plays a leading cultural role in the Charlotte area and serves the community as a civic leader, reflecting and uniting the region through the transformative power of live music. The CSO presents around 175 concerts each season, between mainstage in Uptown Charlotte — in series of Classical, Pops, Movie, and Family concerts and specials — and performances held across the community and surrounding region, including CSO Roadshow concerts on the mobile stage.
