President's Message

The vision and hope of the Ashland Symphony Board of Directors is that our symphony orchestra becomes the center of the artistic life in the Ashland area.  And with that in mind, we welcome you to the 38th consecutive season of our marvelous orchestra.  Also, we are very pleased to have Maestro Arie Lipsky returning again this fall for his twelfth season.  We hope you enjoy the entertainment brought to you this season with the ever growing quality of the Ashland Symphony.

The Board has worked very hard this year to secure financial stability.  The response to date on our 2007-2008 Annual Fund drive has been most gratifying and we hope that if you have not yet pledged or made a contribution for this season that you will do so to enable us to reach our goal.  The Board commits to you good stewardship of the funds that you entrust to us.

Fred Lavender, President

ASO Board of Directors
