What's New?
– The RSO is pleased to announce that this season's concerts will all be held at the West Side Presbyterian Church in Ridgewood.
A personal message from Maestro Leytush:
"I envision a 2012-13 season that will become a significant epoch in
the "life" of our orchestra, and our loyal and devoted audience. In this new season, we will continue to carry on in our stride to considerably raise the mastery of our musicianship to the new levels. We collectively set out on this path 3 years ago, as I became the Artistic Director of this fine institution, and have consistently
executed based upon this principle. Coincidentally, this very goal of raising individual soloists, as well as groups of performers within the orchestra to the new heights, led to the upcoming season's programs. Our joint development, and a probable next step, rests on a successful execution of such in our upcoming concerts.
Without much ado, I would like to share a sampling of some of the highlights of the upcoming season, namely, Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherasada", Brahms - Symphony #1, Beethoven - Symphony #6 "Pastoral". On an additional exciting note regarding this season, we will be joined by the three exceptional soloists who will surely embellish our upcoming season; these are soprano Michelle Trovato, clarinetist Moran Katz and violinist our concertmaster Jina Choi.
We very much hope to foster listener’s interest in our performances, boost curiosity of younger generations, and to attract new audience members and subscribers."
- Arkady Leytush
Artistic Director and Conductor

Featuring:
Cem Duruoz, guitar

With a recent cover article feature published by the UK based Classical Guitar magazine, Cem Duruöz was characterized as an “extraordinarily gifted player” and “cultural ambassador who delivered a generous and landmark introduction of new repertoire”. The American Record Guide/Music in Concert recently wrote: "His flawless classical technique, depth of color, long flowing lines, clean playing and tight rhythmic style made everyone listen in an entirely different way. In a total hush, I felt the audience transformed." The two-time Grammy winner guitarist Sharon Isbin said: “His excellent stage presence complements his virtuosic technique and musical, elegant artistry.”
"Great music....close to home"
