The Queen City: Up With Uptown

Published: 08/24/2011 by Brie DePaulo in Business

There’s an old song you’re probably familiar with: "You can always go downtown." Well, in the Queen City, you really can’t go downtown—or at least, you shouldn’t refer to it that way. Charlotte, North Carolina doesn’t have an official "downtown" area, you see, but rather an Uptown—the very name of which signifies that the area is ever-expanding, constantly improving, and ultimately thriving, making it a perfect central hub and cultural focal point for a city that remains always on the up-and-up.

The Charlotte Symphony Orchestra exists to serve the community of Charlotte, NC "through music that educates, entertains and enriches the human spirit." The Charlotte Symphony was founded in 1932 and is the largest active professional performing arts organization in the central Carolinas. With over 100 performances each year, the Charlotte Symphony attracts more than 200,000 audience members and listeners in the Queen City every season.
