Audience Comments

Classical Jukebox+ ….Brilliant concept, magnificently performed!

“We are delighted with the musical bounty and beauty that the orchestra shares with our community.  We have been bringing friends with us who also appreciate the splendor of the music” – Alexandra Morgan

“The concert was fabulous and we loved it!  The new piece Potentia” was amazing and we were so enthralled, we talked about it thru intermission and didn’t leave our seats.  An incredible composition, great poetry, and a brilliant delivery with fabulous voice of Jubilant Sykes.”

“Was last night a success for OSM? You betcha! Playing before a full house with a full orchestra, Roger asked the best from them, and they responded.”

“Roger has a very creative vision for each performance and delivers it in the most outstanding way.”
