Our mission is to provide performers and audiences an inspired opportunity to play and hear some of the world's best classical music - both traditional and contemporary.
Associated with the world famous Turtle Creek Chorale, we are the only orchestra in the area committed to diversity and inclusiveness for all people.
We are led by noted conductor Kathryn D.Brown, who has been active in the local performing arts group community for many years.
