From the Screen to the Symphony: My 2025 Experience with ACCO

From the very first rehearsal, it was clear that ACCO is something truly special. There is a rare sense of purpose that runs through this orchestra — a shared belief in the power of contemporary music that is melodic, expressive, and deeply human. As performers, we were not simply presenting a program; we were bringing great cinematic music to life for our community in the heart of Washington, DC.
