DEAR FRIEND,

I am so excited to share with you our

2012-2013 season, as we celebrate

20 years as Central Florida’s

resident orchestra.

We’ve put together a spectacular

roster of guest artists and music for

you, from Beethoven's Emperor

Concerto to Mendelssohn's A

Midsummer Night's Dream, and

from Wicked Divas to Michael

Andrew. We’ll also perform two great

operas, and a special matinee

performance of the Sarah Chang

concert in January.

I hope you’ll consider a subscription

for yourself, and share the joy of the

Orlando Philharmonic with your

friends. I look forward to seeing you

for what promises to be our best

season yet.

Yours in music,

Christopher Wilkins

Music Director
