Our Musicians

Over 30 Musicians Playing as One

What makes our orchestra unique is how much we value and celebrate the unique talents and personalities of our musicians. At the heart of our new vision is their desire to present a more dramatic and adventurous experience for our guests. With their dynamic enthusiasm, we will lead classical music into a bold and exciting future. We invite you to get to know each of them.
