Salvaggio’s love for the material was evident and his direction clear.

Orchestra Reviews

When I was younger I appreciated finding venues that were free because I couldn’t otherwise go to concerts. Now, I appreciate that CRO tries to make music available to those individuals and families who cannot afford [traditional performing arts events].
