EDUCATION

“These committed professionals were led by a skilled conductor whose

signals to his players were admirably clear, and whose inner vision of

the music was expressed in the orchestra’s fine ensemble playing.”

                                                                                                                              The Suffolk Times

“This was not one of those here we go again renditions that some of the “great”

orchestras of the world are sometimes guilty of. You could sense the concentration of

all the members of this orchestra and their enjoyment in performing these works.

This was teamwork and musical professionalism in the truest sense...”
