“Performing with the CCO is a unique experience. It offers an opportunity both to perform repertoire that is never done in larger orchestral settings, as well as to experience many orchestral standards in a chamber music setting. For this reason and many others, I’m always thrilled to head down to Ithaca for a concert with the CCO.”
