The orchestra is lead by esteemed conductor, composer and arranger Charles Fernandez. Guest conductor Shaul Ben-Meir - the incredibly talented flutist, arranger and conductor - will be leading the orchestra in his arrangements of Brahms "Allegro Energico Opus 98" and Von Suppé's "Poet and Peasant" Overture. The orchestra proudly joins featured soloist and group founder Frederick Staff for his heartfelt and masterful performance of Gluck's "Dance of the Blessed Spirits" and Saint-Saëns' "Odelette."
