“Last season we changed our format at the orchestra just a bit,” says Lorraine Marks-Field, the orchestra’s celebrated founder and conductor, “ and created something akin to a party atmosphere. I think that we have a few more interesting twists in this year’s opening program which will gain the attention of the whole family.”
