"We start planning our season a year in advance. We book our guest artists, who are very busy next year. We have two Grammy Award-winning guest artists, so they're very busy. We start planning out the repertoire, the programming, very far in advance to kind of create the structure to the season and make sure that it's balanced and everything is in the right place, talking to the musicians to make sure they feel good about it, and the community as well," Crust said.

The Lima Symphony Orchestra will return to the stage for the 2023-2024 season this October.
