Musical VisionsKwamé Ryan's journey to Charlotte began in January 2023 when Ryan led the orchestra in Copland’s Symphony No. 3, John Adams’ “Short Ride in a Fast Machine” and Korngold’s Violin Concerto. He returned in November to conduct Verdi’s Requiem. “I was really taken with the artistry of the musicians, but also how easy the relationship was, how natural the relationship was in rehearsal,” he explains. “We had such a wonderful time, and even after that first week in January, I was pretty sure that if I did have the opportunity to become the director of the orchestra, I would do it.”
