The people behind the music
Symphony Spotlights
Your neighbors, your teachers, your friends — one story at a time.
Our musicians aren’t a faraway orchestra. They’re your neighbors — teachers, students, retirees, and professionals who rehearse on their own time and play for the love of it.
In our Symphony Spotlights, we introduce you to the people behind the music, one story at a time. Get to know them. Cheer them on. And listen a little closer the next time you’re in the audience.
Rachel Ray-Harpist
Meet the newest harpist of the Conroe Symphony Orchestra-Rachel Ray, and her origin story is as lovely as her instrument.
“When I was 9, I wanted to play the most beautiful instrument of all… and well, obviously.”
Rachel joined us this season, and her very first CSO concert happened to be an official Disney concert — a lifelong dream come true. ✨
