Orchestra Santa Monica (OSM) was founded in 2012 by Dr. Allen Robert Gross (*) who served as the orchestra’s Music Director for six years. After his retirement in May 2018, Roger Kalia was selected as OSM’s new Music Director.
“Splendid evening last week! Still exalted from the passion and the artistry of the musicians, especially Mr. Venkatesh’s keyboard wizardry”.
“I thoroughly enjoyed last Saturday’s concert. Everything was perfect–the selection, orchestra, Roger as director, the soloist, ushers, etc”
“Bravissimo and congratulations for a very memorable evening! Maestro Kalia led OSM to perform at the highest level, and the audience enthusiasm said it all. Last but not least, was the magnificent playing of the Beethoven by the very gifted Vijay Venkatesh”.
