Tifereth Israel Orchestra Announces its 2010-11 Season

TICO has been affiliated with Tifereth Israel Synagogue for well over a decade. During this time, it has presented many a memorable concert and has featured some world famous artists at the top of their careers. At times we have brought in young artists on their way to stardom, and consistently, new works have been commissioned from living composers, emphasizing Jewish culture, history, and traditions.

Tifereth Israel Community Orchestra has unveiled its plans for the upcoming season. Entitled Orchestral Spectaculars, every concert will include a famous and beloved symphonic work of audience favorites.
