Musicians, we are all ready to start another exciting season of music making! The conductors and staff have been working hard auditioning, preparing music and planning for our 2019-20 concert season. As we finalize the rosters, we are anticipating another exciting music experience for everyone.
I hope you've all had a wonderful summer and are ready to begin the journey of re-creating the magic of orchestral music. See you soon.
Mr. Benson
