Moore Philharmonic Happy to Be Reconnecting With Public

BY KAYLIE MORGAN Special to The Pilot Nov 25, 2021

I find it fitting that the coldest season of the year brings with it the warmest memories. We gather together for the holidays not only to find warmth for our bodies, but also for our souls.

We reconnect with loved ones, picking up where we left off in days gone by. Music and merriment set the stage for a night well spent in the company of friends. Moments of joy and laughter bring light into the dark nights of winter.

For a time, we forget the frigid winds outside, and the stresses of daily life melt away. But just as the snow melts with the morning sun, these moments pass ever so quickly. After saying farewell and going forth into the wintry world, we leave with a light that warms us from within.

It goes without saying that we’ve missed these times of togetherness. After a long season apart from our loved ones, we long for connection and the return of beloved traditions. I’ve certainly felt their absence in the past year.

As a musician, I’ve missed performing music for live audiences. As a writer, I’ve missed inviting you all to the Moore Philharmonic Orchestra’s seasonal concerts. In spite of the challenges, MPO has thrived. In our previous season, MPO connected with the community through live-streamed performances and social media engagement. We thank you all for sharing our music with your friends and families. Through your support, we proved we could not be silenced by adversity.
