“While this is an end to the season no one could have anticipated, I feel tremendously excited about the future of the Akron Symphony,” said Music Director Christopher Wilkins. “I am deeply proud of the quality of our orchestra, and believe more than ever that our mission serves this community in vitally important ways. I eagerly anticipate our return as soon as possible, when we will once again be sharing the world’s greatest music with everyone.”
