The work of the orchestra as a whole is to present a survey of quality music through the past hundred years. As musicians, we seek to analyze the essential musical elements, creative processes, and the intimate connection music has with race, class, and culture. It is a cross-discipline approach designed to cultivate an appreciation for the performing arts. Our approach includes selecting music literature from various musical periods and genres, looking at how it reflects or affects the development of social communities.

Our performances are designed to provide audiences the opportunity to travel places around the world and be exposed to history and culture through carefully selected works of music. We orchestrate our concerts as a vehicle to instill within our audience the desire to think about how music serves to unite and improve our society at large.
