ECSO Orchestra Swings Host

I had the privilege of returning to serve as the host of Eastern Connecticut Symphony’s Young People’s Series. This year’s program was “The Orchestra Swings,” one of many programs offered through Carnegie Hall’s Link Up program. I had a blast with co-host Alizae Ivette and conductor Toshiyuki Shimada.

As always, Executive Director Caleb Bailey was the most gracious host/wrangler alongside superstar Executive Coordinator Emma Bocciarelli. The J. Hunter Group also joined us, with Rufus Davis serving as the band’s host and Lisa Marien rocking it out on vocals and recorder.
