ROCO in Concert

Our sixth season will be “the most fun you can have with serious music”, including distinguished guest conductors, world-famous composers, and our 40 all-star musicians, all coming together to present classical favorites, original compositions, and delightful performances that dissolve the barrier between audience and orchestra. We invite you to get to know some of the most talented musicians in the world, and to share in the “musical joie de vivre” that flows between musicians and audience at our concerts.
