We are still daydreaming about Aristo Sham’s breathtaking performance and the electric energy of Jessie Montgomery’s Starburst. Our evening with the 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition Gold Medalist was nothing short of extraordinary, filled with vibrant melodies, powerful emotion, and moments that will stay with us for years to come. 

We are grateful to Aristo Sham for joining us in Waco. His artistry, charisma, and talent captivated the hall and left us in awe. A heartfelt thank you as well to our incredible musicians, whose dedication and passion consistently create evenings of pure artistry. 

To our audience, thank you for supporting the Symphony and sharing the evening with us. Your presence makes moments like these possible.
