This week on Inside CCS — meet Paula Hickey, our clarinetist at Capital City Symphony. 🎶

For Paula, CCS is a potpourri of musicians from wonderfully diverse backgrounds, coming together to create something memorable. What she treasures most is the moment individuals merge into one collective consciousness — making music and bringing a composer's vision to life.

This week on Inside CCS — meet Christopher Ratto, our cellist at Capital City Symphony. 🎻

Music has been at the center of Christopher's life since he was eight. He didn't major in it, but playing has always been the creative outlet and mental break he needs — and there's a real joy in sharing that labor of love with his family when they come to a concert. For him, CCS is a community within a community: musicians from all walks of life coming together to make something beautiful for their neighbors.

Swipe to hear it in his own words — from the performance that moved him deeply, to the rock legend on his daily soundtrack. 👀

This week on Inside CCS — meet Lanae Erickson, our principal second violinist at Capital City Symphony. 🎻

For Lanae, CCS is a community of passionate, warm people who love creating something beautiful together. Playing takes all of her focus — the kind of full immersion that snaps her out of everyday stress. She'll finish a three-hour rehearsal after a long workday and walk away more energized than when she started.

Swipe to hear it in her own words — from the performance that channeled grief into spectacular music, to the composer on her daily soundtrack. 👀
