Chattanooga Welcomes a New Generation of Arts Enthusiasts with OVERTURE

Chattanooga, a city known for its vibrant arts scene, is all set to jazz things up even further! The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera (CSO) is excited to roll out OVERTURE, a fresh initiative aimed at bringing together the city’s young professionals who are passionate about music and the arts. Designed specifically for those between the ages of 21 to 40, OVERTURE is about creating a spirited and engaged community that not only appreciates the beauty of the arts but also aspires to take the lead in the cultural landscape of Chattanooga.

Connecting Passionate Individuals

What’s the idea behind OVERTURE? According to the Executive Director of the CSO, Susan Caminez, it’s all about “cultivating a vibrant community of young professionals who are passionate about music.” This group aims to connect individuals with similar interests and support the rich cultural fabric of Chattanooga. Members can expect not only exclusive access to special events but also networking opportunities with leaders of CSO and chances to engage with professional musicians. This initiative is about ensuring that the younger generation becomes active supporters and advocates for the arts that bring so much life to this city.

Kicking Off with a Happy Hour Party

To launch this exciting venture, an official Happy Hour party is scheduled for Thursday, October 24, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM at Yellow Racket Records, located at 2311 E Main St. Mark your calendars because this isn’t just any gathering – it’s a festive evening filled with live music, delicious drinks available for purchase, and a fantastic promotion of 50% off all classical records!
