Maestro Michael Hall plays to rave reviews in Costa Rica

Maestro Hall is proud to represent the Southwest Florida Symphony abroad and looks forward to other engagements in the future.

"Traveling abroad is exciting," he said. "It allows me to share some pieces we may have performed here and it also gives me the opportunity to learn from other symphonies. At the end of the day, it is wonderful to see classical music flourishing and there is no greater reward than hearing an audience respond 'Bravo,' at home and abroad."

During his commitment to the National Symphony Orchestra of Costa Rica, Maestro Hall performed "La Clmenza di Tito, Concierto del sol" for guitar and orchestra by a Costa Rican composer and Saint Saens' "Organ" Symphony," the same piece that was performed here last season.
