CONDUCTOR LEVIN RETIRES AFTER 28 YEARS
"After conducting close to 800 rehearsals and concerts, sharing my love of orchestral music with wonderful student musicians, parents and audience members, and working day to day with excellent faculty and staff, it is time for me to step down and pursue other interests, to enjoy music from the other side of the baton. It has been a great joy to share this journey with you." -- Andrew Levin |
