Metro Arts artistic director Niel DePonte conducts the orchestra whose members are drawn from the ranks of the Oregon Symphony and Oregon Ballet Theatre orchestras. The full media experience and live broadcast, hosted by All Classical radio personalities Christa Wessel and Robert McBride, enjoyed its fourth consecutive year and is an annual highlight for the station. Wessel says, “Over the last six weeks it’s been a joy to profile these artists on our program On Deck with Young Musicians. Their stories serve to inspire music lovers both young and old. All Classical Portland’s live broadcast gives these kids a worldwide stage upon which to share their remarkable talent.”
