Michael Anderson, SCSO Concert Master 1996-2007 – Sea Symphony – October 2006 -
Sacramento Community Center Theater - Donald Kendrick, Conductor
Michael served as the SCSO’s Concert Master for 11 years from its establishment in November 1996 to May 2007. He worked closely with us in our performances at the Sacramento Community Center, Memorial Auditorium and the UC Davis Mondavi Center.
In the Fall of 2007 Michael and the SCSO passed the Concert Master position on to Michael’s wife Cindy Lee.
For many years Michael also an anchor with the Sacramento Symphony, the Sacramento Opera Orchestra and the Sacramento Philharmonic. He clearly left his musical mark throughout our entire community. Michael was fiercely proud of his daughter Chloe.
The SCSO plans on dedicating its May 2015 season finale performance of Songs of Eternity in Michael’s memory.
Should you desire to send a card, please do so:

We are sending our love, good thoughts and prayers to Cindy and Chloe and all of Michael’s family and friends.
