SUMMARY:Narrator: Free Family Concert / Orange County Youth Symphony
DESCRIPTION:This free concert is fantastic extension of my narrator duties with the  Orange County Youth Symphony (led by Music Director Johannes Müller Stosch) and graciously sponsored by the Philharmonic Society of Orange County. The venue is perfect for a more intimate engagement with excited youngsters and their people.

DESCRIPTION:The Philharmonic Society of Orange County presents their Concerts for Fifth Grade\, starring the Orange County Youth Symphony led by Music Director Johannes Müller Stosch. And moi?

SUMMARY:Concert for Fifth Grade / OC Phil Society
DESCRIPTION:Fifth grade is a tough sell for classical music. But I’m thrilled to return to one of my favorite gigs: narrating an Orange County Youth Symphony concert for local 5th graders. The show’s theme? Resilience and working towards goals\, as illustrated by the lives and music of Beethoven\, Holst\, and John Williams. I applaud the Orange County Philharmonic Society’s fun\, innovative approach. \nPlease note: tickets to this concert are not available to the general public.
