Incredible 3 weeks in NY making music with the Queens College Orchestra! 🎻Big thanks to all involved🙌 Also enjoyed unforgettable performances at @carnegiehall, @nyphil, and @MetOpera🎶

So honored to have spent this past week at @interlochenarts rehearsing with the talented Academy Orchestra! It was my first time visiting this storied campus, and it is as magical as I had imagined, and more.

An incredible season opening with @MTSymphony ! The orchestra was exquisite, Jeffrey Biegel wowed with two rhapsodies, and the Young People's Concerts next morning were a blast!

Words can’t express the joy of being a part of the @SAPhilharmonic’s season finale! Making music with the musicians, working with @JonKimuraParker and witnessing the love of the audience for these musicians was a dream. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for this orchestra!

What an amazing season finale! The musicians of the Mid-Texas Symphony @MTSymphony rocked the stage with their performance of Berlioz, and John-Henry Crawford’s @Cello_Crawford rendition of the Tchaikovsky was breathtaking. Thank you to all involved for this unforgettable season!

[Akiko Fujimoto @akikoconductor]

Excited to chat with John-Henry Crawford @JH_Crawford about our upcoming concert with the Mid-Texas Symphony, “Symphonie Fantastique”!

A “Wild”-ly successful Western concert with @MTSymphony! Congratulations to the musicians for their tour de force performance, and thanks to Sherry for the bandana! Maybe I’ll wear pink more often…

Thanks to the musicians of @MTSymphony and soloist Andrew Warfield for all the musical fireworks. Looking forward to getting the whole band back together in April!

[Akiko Fujimoto @akikoconductor]

I don’t often use the word “fun” to describe a classical concert, but this one WAS! We got to play Mozart from 2 very different times in his life; celebrate the coolest dude ever, Chevalier de St-Georges; and leave the audience chuckling and stunned by end of Haydn’s “Farewell.”

[Akiko Fujimoto @akikoconductor]

Looking forward to performing with the @MTSymphony and horn soloist Andrew Warfield this Sunday at 4pmCT in the @BrauntexTheatre!

For a preview, join us for the Virtual Pre-Concert Lecture on Thursday, February 9 at 4pmCT, on MTS’ FB and YouTube here: https://t.co/PK13yx61Do

A fantastic week of music making with the Arkansas Symphony @ARSymphony and harpist Alisa Coffey! Excited by all the explorations and conversations, on and off stage.
