A Message from Jerrode

Welcome to our 92nd season with the Sedalia Symphony Orchestra! I invite you to experience the music “From Many Lands and Places” by joining us for four concerts, each highlighting a special theme that takes you to vibrant destinations around the world. We kick off the season with “Songs of the Soul,” featuring Cameron “Cam” Cody—an internationally recognized concert artist, conductor, and organist based in Houston, Texas. Next, we showcase dynamic energy with a performance featuring the Smith-Cotton Jazz Ensemble, followed by a journey to classical Europe for “With Love from Vienna.” Finally, we wrap up our musical travels with the spirited and romantic rhythms of “Lovely, Lively Latin.” Join us as we explore the world through music right here in Sedalia! 

We are thrilled that you have chosen the Sedalia Symphony Orchestra as your orchestra of choice, and we hope you will continue to support the symphony in every way possible. In addition to attending concerts, please consider becoming a member—your membership helps ensure that we can continue to give fabulous concerts for years to come.  In addition to membership, you can also support us in other creative ways:  

• You can purchase season tickets and give them as a gift to family and friends.
• You can attend our annual gala, which we kicked off in our 90th season (watch for details on the website)
• Your organization can supply refreshments at a concert
• You can assist by driving students or the elderly to concerts
• Your company can become a corporate sponsor and receive extra publicity and recognition at the concerts (email us for more information!)
• You can sponsor a musician’s chair—sponsoring a musician ensures stability and quality in the symphony

 All of these are ways that the Sedalia Symphony Orchestra can continue to bring exciting and high-quality concerts to the mid-Missouri region!

I look forward to greeting you in person at our concerts this season.

Jerrode Marsh
Artistic Director and Conductor
