The concert series is comprised of various classical music from our classical legends such as Liszt, Mozart, Stravinsky, Debussy, Tchsaikovsky, Brahms, and many more.

Come December 15, the orchestra will be featuring Debussy’s “La Mer”, Rodrigo’s “Fantasia para un Gentilhombre”, Ravel’s “Valses nobles et sentimentales” and “Bolero” in their Concert IV. This is accompanied by Eduardo Fernandez for guitar and Yoshikazu Fukumura as the conductor.
