Stephen Nordstrom, violin

“The art of listening shapes what we hear. Just as we ask you to actively listen to the musical experiences we present to you, you have asked us to listen to what you need and want from your orchestral organization. With the community’s valuable input, we have developed a season that is meaningful to the broad and diverse region that we serve. We present to you a season filled with incredible sonic wonders, mind-opening educational programs and memory-making experiences. Listen with us this season, and share the deep rewards of transformative music-making.”
