Description

At our last concert, we recounted the sad, dreary tale of Francoise LeBec (Paris' proudest and rudest French waiter), as he had attempted to destroy his American customer's meal by literally torching it...

 

…only to find he had invented French Onion soup and Creme Brulee!

 

The American, of course, loved his torched food, and LeBec had no choice but to recognize that he had not only failed, he had defeated himself in the process!

Unable to accept such an abysmal loss, LeBec attempted to throw himself into the Seine River in his melodramatic agony.

But the fates were not done torturing LeBec.

The "stupid American" rescued him...and meaner still...it turned out this "idiot" was actually his own cousin!

Now we take you back to the misadventures of LeBec, deep in the throws of an existential crisis of existential crises...one that follows him into his own dreams...an Existential Dream Onion!

  • Will the fates never leave poor LeBec alone?
  • Will LeBec actually find his way out of the Existential Dream Onion?
  • Will he find a means to get away from his insufferably positive American cousin?
  • Will he have to accept that he actually LIKES French Onion soup???

 

Join us for our concert and find out!!!

Cherry Hill Chamber Orchestra

The Cherry Hill Chamber Orchestra, led by conductor Marshunda Smith, was founded in the fall of 2019. Marshunda created the orchestra because she wanted to program and conduct works that moved her intellectually and physically. Her passion for the music is evident in every performance, as she immerses herself in the sounds of the orchestra and shares that passion with the audience.

Marshunda also seeks to break down the invisible wall that can sometimes exist between musicians and audience members. She encourages a more participatory experience, inviting applause between movements and encouraging all to become lost in the sounds they are experiencing. Her goal is to create an environment where the music can be fully appreciated and enjoyed by all.

This approach has had an impact on both the orchestra and audience. The musicians feel more connected to the audience and are able to convey their passion and energy more effectively. The audience, in turn, feels more engaged and connected to the music, allowing them to fully appreciate the depth and beauty of the performances.
