Happy Thanksgiving from TSM!

We have so much to be thankful for this year: we safely navigated a return to live performances and we reached new audiences with digital programming.

But most of all we are thankful for you: our patrons, our donors, our audience members, our supporters. Thank you for being a part of the TSM family!

Hello, Fall! 🍂

Despite a busy summer of digital programming, livestreams, and a whole week of in-person concerts, there was no rest for our fearless leader, Artistic Director Jonathan Crow! We caught up with Jonathan, who just finished three performances in Jackson, Wyoming with Jackson Hole Chamber Music.

“The summer actually became very busy with festivals that were able to take place when COVID-19 restrictions were relaxed. As it’s still hard to program full orchestra concerts, [we’ve been performing] lots of chamber music and small string orchestra pieces. It’s been really nice to work with some colleagues from across North America whom I haven’t seen in almost two years!"

While Jonathan will miss the backyard barbecues of summer, he is excited for what the coming months hold.

“I love the recitals, chamber music concerts, and recordings that I’ve been doing, but I’m excited to get back into a big concert hall and play some full orchestra shows.”
