Music Notes
Simon Vance
``I did not expect how it felt to sit with the cellos today, have you ever sat underneath a piano as it's being played? It's like that but with an entire orchestra. No other in the world like it, the Fan Club gets such privileges. I'm so lucky to be in Ashland and a part of it.``
Bob and Jan Archer
``We are happy and proud to support the Ashland Symphony Orchestra. It has a long history of bringing outstanding LIVE orchestral music to our community. We want to see this musical heritage continue far into the future.``
Gigi Klotzek-Obringer, mother of Yanna Obringer
``Would you believe that she got home exhausted but was happy to go (to Fan Club meeting). Next thing I know, she was off again to see the rehearsal with a whole new energy!``
Anne Cowan
``We were absolutely enthralled by Saturday’s concert (April 1, 2023)! The music was thrilling, and Michael Repper is outstanding! His love of music and conducting is contagious. His call to the young adults in our community was inspiring. The Ashland Symphony Orchestra is a jewel in our community.``
