Fond Farewell

March 9, 2024 

Dear Patrons, Donors, and Musicians 

It is with great sadness that the Hutchinson Symphony Association Board of Directors announces that the Hutchinson Symphony will be closing at the end of the 2023-2024 season. 

This has been a difficult decision, and there has been much effort expended to try to find ways to continue the mission. Many loyal donors have reached deep into their pockets, and many have given a great deal of time and energy to make the Hutchinson Symphony what it has been. 

However, over the last years, our patron base has grown smaller, and we are not attracting new season subscribers as single tickets sales have not converted. Our volunteer leadership group has declined in number, and we have not found depth of expertise in fund raising, grant writing and marketing, sufficient to maintain adequate contributions and grants. Orchestra musicians, once hailing largely from Hutchinson, now travel considerable distances to play, increasing our operating costs and reducing local influence and followings. Efforts to boost interest by changing programming from classical to pop and contemporary selections have not resulted in increased ticket sales or donations. 

As we close this chapter of our community life, we wish to express our deepest gratitude to Dr. Koshgarian for building and directing an extraordinary orchestra, and to the many musicians, donors and patrons who have made the Symphony such a gem. 

The final two performances of the Hutchinson Symphony at the Hutchinson Historic Fox Theatre are as follows with tickets available at the Fox Box Office: 

  • Thursday, March 14, 2024 when the orchestra performs with the Texas Tenors. This concert is not part of the Symphony subscription series.
  • Sunday, April 7, 2024 at 3 o'clock with guest artists, Acoustic Eidolon.

Sincerely yours,
