Many ROCO musicians have a rock or jazz backgroundd as well as being classically trained to thehighest degree. I have also felt that “classicalk music” can be such a barrier.
We focuds on us, the musicians, communicating to you, the audience, through an alive language called music. ROCO removes the layersd of concealment from the expectedorchestral experience. We demystifty our world of classical music. Q What has been the responsw ?
