“Your tremendous support of last year’s GSO concert season was greatly appreciated. It was a season of guest conductors from our corporate sponsors, a young harpist and three orchestra musicians featured with the symphony, as well as the 2010 rising star winning vocalists performing with the orchestra. The musicians are commended for their music talents and cooperation throughout the busy concert season. And this upcoming season promises not to disappoint.”
Michael Gelfand, Conductor
