Hello Friends and Colleagues: I would like to let you know that I have been appointed as the new Interim Executive Director for the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra effective August 11, 2014. As a past member of the WSO Board of Directors and frequent performer with the orchestra, it was with great humility, honor and pride that I accepted this opportunity to lead the organization through its transition while helping find a new permanent executive director. The WSO – considered the “pearl of the city” - has a rich history serving Greater Waterbury and surrounding communities with high quality orchestral music, educational and community outreach programs dating back seventy-seven years! This year’s season is no exception with an incredible lineup of fantastic performances including; A Midsummer Nights Dream with Shakesperience Productions on Sept. 27, 2014, Featuring James Ehnes, A Grammy Award Winning Violinist Nov. 2, 2014, A Connecticut Christmas Dec. 13 & 14, 2014, Mind Blowing Beethoven Mar. 14, 2015, and the Verdi Requiem April 25 & 26, 2015. I hope that our paths will continue to cross during my tenure here this season. Perhaps you will consider joining us for one of our upcoming concerts or even becoming a subscriber or contributor! Artistically yours, Leo P Lavallee Interim Executive Director Waterbury Symphony Orchestra 110 Bank Street P.O.

About the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra Founded in May 1938 under the direction of Maestro Mario DiCecco, the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra (WSO) has spent the past several decades promoting the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of symphonic and orchestral music. Originally incorporated as the Waterbury Civic Orchestra (1940), the Symphony and its mission have grown in both vision and artistic merit, expanding from a community orchestra to the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra (1956). For the past 20 seasons, the WSO has been led by Leif Bjaland. The Symphony draws over 100 talented musicians from across New England to perform in our concert series at the Naugatuck Valley Community College Fine Arts Center in Waterbury and various locations throughout Litchfield County. Through continued growth and development, the WSO aims to create and maintain a deeper connection with the local community. Additions to its concert series, fundraising events, a volunteer league and expanded educational programs are just a few ways the Symphony makes this happen.
