Transcript:
Hello, I am Jacques Lacombe and I am proud to speak to you as the new Music Director of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra.
Less than a year ago, I had the pleasure and privilege to conduct these world class musicians in a great program, incl...uding Carmina Burana. On that occasion, I also discovered a very unique community. Since then there's been meetings, rehearsals, visits from the representatives from the orchestra and together we explored furthermore this idea of collaborating closer together. Today, I am very proud to join the great team of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra; and together we are going to work to enhance artistry, grow our audience, and build a stronger future for our orchestra.
Our musicians are so passionate about music making and so dedicated to give the best to our audiences. I sense a very special energy in the orchestra, and the chemistry between the musicians and me has been so inspiring for me that I just can't wait to share all our passion for music with you.
Work is just starting for me as the new Music Director of this orchestra. Planning is on the way, we are going to announce our next season in February. I'll be back in April and May to conduct two wonderful programs, which I hope you're going to come and enjoy with us.
I just can't wait to get to know you better. Together we are going to make some beautiful music, and I promise I'll take you on a very exciting adventure!
