“After playing Chopin, I feel as if I had been weeping over sins that I had never committed, and mourning over tragedies that were not my own. Music always seems to me to produce that effect. It creates for one a past of which one has been ignorant, and fills one with a sense of sorrows that have been hidden from one’s tears.”
— Oscar Wilde
Music is intangible. However fine arts organizations often struggle under the pressure to produce a type of success that can only be measured by physical means.
Music meets an emotional need and has the unique ability to speak a language that can be understood by all. And not only this – music conveys different meanings to different people instantaneously. When 80 musicians get on a stage and perform together there is certainly a vibrant energy that is palpable in the air. Music inspires humanity.
At the core of who we are as the Mobile Symphony Orchestra is the mission to inspire the Mobile Bay community. But we cannot do this by ourselves. We need your generous support to continue our mission to enhance lives by achieving the highest standards of live symphonic music and music education.
