Dear Bernadette,
Tickets are NOW available. Your
best buy is the season ticket. You
will receive ALL 5 evening symphony
concerts for the price of just 4.
Plus, we're maintaining last year's

You can easily order tickets
online, call 508.478.5924, or
print a
ticket order form from our web
site and mail with a check or with
your credit card information.
Order tickets early to
reserve your favorite seat at
Milford Town Hall.
Our 10th Anniversary Season kicks
off November 7th with Pillars of
Fifths. The program include 2
monumental works of classical
literature-- Beethoven's Symphony
No. 5 and Shostakovich's Symphony
No. 5. (5 + 5 = 10!)
Our popular Holiday Pops concert
takes place on December 12th. New
World Chorale join the CHSO to add
their sparkling voices to the
traditional and contemporary holiday
favorties.
Since this is our Tenth Anniversary
Year, we're revisiting some of the
highlights from the past decade.
And we're also bringing new faces to
Claflin Hill. We have a new
concertmaster,
Angel Valchinov, replacing
longtime concertmaster Nikola
Takov. ( Nikola
has been hired by The Orquesta
Sinfónica de Navarra. Pamplona is
home to Navarra's symphonic
orchestra, one of the oldest
orchestras still active in Spain.
We're very proud of his talent and
this exciting opportunity.)
We also look for to hosting Mezzo
soprano Melanie Campbell, a young
vocalist introduced to us by our
good friend Ron Della Chiesa. This
concert is titled Songs of America
and will feature American
Spirituals, selections by Duke
Ellington, Gershwin, and an original
work by our very own Tom Hojnacki.
By popular demand, we've added a
chamber orchestra concert to this
year's symphony schedule. This will
be a benefit concert and therefore
it is not included with the season
tickets. The performance takes
place on Feb. 13th and it would be
an excellent way to celebrate
Valentine's Day.
