Reese Romero
The Pacific Repertoire Orchestra (PRO) began as a performance class project by Reese Romero with the help of Tyler Van Zuiden and Joseph Kruse. It has since evolved into a thriving ensemble led and organized by students. The orchestra strives to serve students by providing a more intimate orchestral experience while exposing its audience and members to new repertoire. The orchestra is now led by President Reese Romero, Orchestra Manager Justin Silva, and Artistic Directors Joseph Kruse and Braydon Ross. Our members would like to thank Ella Hebrard, Dr. Sonia Leong, and Professor Daniel Ebbers for their contributions to the orchestra and its success.
