Artists
Worcester Symphony Orchestra (formerly New England Symphony Orchestra and Thayer Symphony Orchestra) is the continuation of 40-plus years of music making in central Massachusetts. The orchestra is committed to several local performances each year and is engaged in discussions with several local groups about potential collaborative programming. Roderick MacDonald has been the orchestra’s music director since 2014. He is the former principal trumpet of the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig and a former conducting student of both Kurt Masur and Bernard Haitink. Under his leadership the orchestra has increased its use of video programming during the COVID pandemic through such initiatives as NESO at Home (downloadable videos of small groups of NESO musicans in intimate settings) and the co-production of AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS with VOX New England.
Luis Viquez, guest conductor
Latin Grammy-nominated and American Prize-winning conductor Luis Viquez is celebrated as one of the most dynamic and versatile musical voices of his generation. With a charismatic presence on the podium, Viquez’s passionate leadership and energetic musicianship have earned him recognition as one of Central America’s most influential conductors, equally at home with orchestral, wind band, and operatic repertoire.
