A Letter from our Music Director
Esprit (a vanguard orchestra) operates at the leading edge taking advantage of the special talents of dedicated, highly-skilled musicians to create innovative frontline musical events.
After more than four decades of championing new orchestral music, our season is bigger and more ambitious than ever and we need your support to continue serving you, the community and the cause of advancing music at home and abroad to the fullest degree.
Our inaugural Edge of Your Seat International Festival this Spring brings fantastic pieces to our audience’s ears and minds reflecting the newest global trends and showcasing an abundance of fine home-grown talents plus top visiting composers and soloists.
Esprit’s expanding collaborations with important foreign orchestras include our North American Premiere of music we’ve co-commissioned with the Berlin Philharmonic. We’re increasing our online presence worldwide by expanding recording and video productions.
Esprit’s artistic leadership has been developed thanks to previous support from individuals like you. Your appreciation of our work motivates us to remain worthy of your support.
Please stay up-to-date with where Esprit’s heading and join us on the journey with a contribution demonstrating your belief in the bold, inspiring nature that characterizes Esprit Orchestra.
