Howard and arranged by Roszell, The Complete Harry Potter arranged by Jerry Brubaker, Video Games Live arranged by Ralph Ford, and A Tribute to John Williams arranged by Paul Lavender.
“The Sound Symphony Orchestra was a fantastic event that was enjoyed by all,” said Legislator Anker. “Thank you to the conductors, performers, and staff, that continue to share the joys and intricacies of music making with our community. The talent of these artists is unmatched!”
