A Message from 
The Music Director 


John Whitney
Music Director

Welcome to the sixth season of a new orchestra to the Southern Tier. We’re very happy to offer you and your family the thrill of hearing exciting performances of LIVE symphonic music.

Please join the Southern Tier Symphony Family by subscribing and attending our concerts. Invite your friends and neighbors to join you in support of this new endeavor.

We need your support, of course! But, we also welcome your ideas, suggestions and volunteer assistance as the orchestra grows and prospers.

Contact me!

Hope to see you at the concerts!!!

Warmly,
John Whitney
