WHAT SOME OF OUR MUSICIANS ARE SAYING:
​
"I am very grateful to be part of the wonderful Orchestra Concordia - where I have the opportunity to play with such talented and passionate musicians and under such a gifted director.  It has been a soul-enriching experience for me." ~ Joe Hrin, Clarinet

"I joined Orchestra Concordia as an adult who had recently returned to playing an instrument after some years. It is an honor to play with such talented musicians, and to engage with sophisticated orchestral literature. I am working hard, learning a great deal, and when we perform I find myself with the same goofy grin on my face that I did when I played in youth orchestras in my teens. Conductor Gary White is skilled at eliciting the best musical performances out of all the players, and what a treat it is have the opportunity to play with such accomplished soloists. I like to think that  performers and audience alike go home from a concert a little lighter, a little more young in spirit, with music in their hearts."  ~ Alison, Cello
