The Oregon Arts Orchestra consists of players coming from several orchestras the conductor , Cindy , conducts or plays in from Phoenix and Oregon. It’s called Oregon Arts Orchestra because it was originally set up in Oregon, where Cindy used to live but since she’s moved to Phoenix, the players come from few orchestras from this city too.
All players are very strong or semiprofessional players.
