According to DCCA Artistic Director David Warner, the conductor has created a unique and listenable program that includes beloved familiar compositions by Brahms, Grieg, Bizet, and Bernstein, plus much more. “The maestro promises a performance that will be enjoyed by a broad range of listeners who simply enjoy good music,” Mr. Warner stated.

Since its formation in 1943, the Toledo Symphony Orchestra has grown from a core group of twenty-two part-time musicians to become a regionally prestigious ensemble employing sixty-nine full-time professional musicians, as well as numerous others to meet the needs of an expansive and eclectic repertoire. The orchestra, known for the joy they bring to their skillful performances which inspire audiences from 135 different zip codes throughout Ohio and Michigan, reaches an audience of more than 260,000 individuals annually through its performances and education programs.
