The orchestra and supporters were delighted to see Executive Director / Principal Conductor Cynthia Morrow at our 'A Night at the Opera' concert at WICA on March 30. We see this as a significant step in her long journey of recovery from the stroke she suffered in August, 2024. As the weather and her abilities both improve, we look forward to seeing her out and about more and more!Cynthia resides at Maple Ridge Assisted Living in Freeland where she continues to get physical, speech, and daily-living activities therapy. She is an avid reader who has excellent comprehension of what she reads. Although she has continuing difficulty in expressing herself in speech, she is making steady progress. Her broad span of interests and vigorous intellect are intact.
Told that she had many people holding her in love, she smiled and said, "Tell them I am doing well." The good wishes and positive thoughts of the orchestra community mean a lot to Cynthia and Gary. Keep them coming - we look forward to further recovery.
