Joseph Jones Conducts Empire State Sinfonia April 13 & 14 in Debut Concerts in New York City

[Joseph Jones]

Kevin Scott wrote this week in reply to the post on Ulysses Kay. He writes, in part:

“I should inform you of a new young African-American conductor named Joseph Jones, who has started a new orchestra in New York City called the Empire State Sinfonia. Their first performances for the spring 2012 season are this coming weekend. He has done some wonderful stuff already with this enterprising new group.
