\n“I believe we have an extraordinary opportunity to expand the boundaries of what a chamber orchestra can be. We have big plans for intriguing and delighting Cleveland audiences with programs that move and inspire meaningful experiences. I am thrilled that this relationship with BlueWater represents an artistic and literal homecoming, where I can in some way honor the teachers and conductors who inspired me to become an artist and continue to collaborate with the superb musicians of this orchestra who make Cleveland their home.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
