Five batons, one podium, your vote. We want to hear from you. Please visit duluthartists.org/dsso.html and submit your thoughts in the online audience survey form about each candidate or just the one you got to see in action. Or if you prefer, when you attend a DSSO concert stop by the table in the lobby of Symphony Hall and pick up a paper survey with one of those great red DSSO envelopes, fill it out and mail it in. All surveys are anonymous, and you are welcome to submit more than one survey as we go through our season.
This is a pivotal year for the DSSO—a year that promises to be fun and engaging. Be a part of DSSO history as the quest for a new conductor begins!
