Saturday, October 6, 2018 at 7:30 p.m.
Free Admission ~ Voluntary offering

One of SoCal’s newest professional chamber orchestras, this conductorless group is dedicated to providing impassioned and engaging musical performances. Influenced by the bustling artistic mosaic of LA, the group applies dazzling creativity and boundless excitement to their performances. Everyone is invited to a post-concert reception to interact with the artists.

Led from the violin by Etienne Gara, the ensemble reflects the artistic excellence and leadership of the young generation of musicians in Los Angeles. The ensemble’s small size allows the players to bond and connect intimately with the audience. The group’s performances are dedicated to inspiring wild excitement and ecstasy by engaging audiences with unapologetically fresh approaches to wide-ranging musical repertoire. Creative interpretation of the old masters, as well as collaboration with contemporary composers, generates new and exciting musical programs that speak to modern audiences.
