In addition, we have arranged lively musical entertainment featuring the Awesome Orchestra who will play music of Hector Berlioz, Richard Wagner and film score composer Howard Shore . The Awesome Orchestra is the brainchild of conductor David Moeschler and the group is a community based group of professional musicians, skilled non-professionals and students.

Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique – Movement IV – “March to the Scaffold”
Shore, Howard – The Fellowship of the Ring – Orchestral Suite (arranged by John Whitney).
 
Along with Moeschler we will also have a special guest conductor: D. Kern Holoman, Music Director Emeritus of the University of California Davis Symphony Orchestra and noted musicologist and Berlioz scholar.
