Charlotte Symphony Orchestra goes mobile with new stage

Savannah Rudicel, Queen City News -- 

The Charlotte Symphony Orchestra played its first performance on its new mobile stage on Sunday.

Musicians aim to bring their art out of Uptown and into various underserved communities this spring.

They partnered with the City of Charlotte to launch the CSO Roadshow series. Officials said they are proud of the initiative.

"One of the shared goals between the city and the Symphony is to increase accessibility to the arts and eliminate barriers to enjoying music, arts, and culture in the area," said Charlotte City Manager Marcus Jones in a statement. "The mobile stage will be a bridge in building connections between the arts and our community. Corridors of Opportunity residents will be able to experience and enjoy live music in their own backyards."

Their first show was in collaboration with the Latin American Coalition at the "Musica con Amigos" event.
