In her recent article in The Naples Press, Harriet Heithaus highlights the remarkable resurgence of the NCO under the leadership of our Artistic Director, Dr. Alvin Ho. In her review of our January concert, she notes that it was a resounding success, with every seat filled and people even standing at the back to hear our performances of Rachmaninoff, Verdi, and Beethoven.

 

The first 2 paragraphs of the article says it all:

 

Anyone who was at the January Naples Community Orchestra concert at Moorings Presbyterian Church got the message: This is an organization in ascendancy.

 

The pews were filled. The window seats along the walls were filled. People were standing in the back to hear the orchestra perform Rachmaninoff, Verdi and Beethoven.

 

Heithaus attributes this surge in popularity to several factors, chief among them being NCO's renewed focus on marketing and Ho's energetic approach to programming.  As she quotes NCO's President, Janice Jack, "He's young.  He's energetic.  He's planned repertoire that A. we can play and B. is challenging."

 

As we continue to grow and evolve, we're thrilled to see our efforts recognized in such a positive light. We invite you to join us for our next performance and experience firsthand the excitement that Heithaus so vividly describes in her article.
