Falls Studio Orchestra</b>, a new musical endeavor that will bring studio
arrangements, and the classics that inspired them, to concerts in the Chagrin
Valley. The <b>Studio Orchestra</b> is the only known orchestra in the region
with a particular focus on studio arrangements. Written as film scores and
rarely played live, studio arrangements represent some of the most dynamic
music of our time, by some of the most respected composers. The <b>Studio
Orchestra</b> will afford its audience the opportunity to hear these original
works played live. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

as musical director/conductor for the Hermit Club Symphony Orchestra. Priscilla

‘more than a concert’ as we strive to enhance performances with
guest artists, singers, and multi-media. We want the experience to be fun and
relaxed—without the hushed formality of a typical concert—like
music was meant to be heard,” says Stephen Eva.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
