A big thank you to you and your fantastic young colleagues. I just came back from my short holiday break in Tuscany and for me it was a pleasure to listen to your orchestra under the starry sky ;) - I enjoyed it a lot and I hope that maybe one day I see you guys playing here in London.

I had only 1 minute to talk to the young tri-lingual gentlemen who were representing you during the tour (from Vienna who is italian which I could not believe because he spoke fluently austrian german) - was so impressed with you guys so that I forgot his name - what a pity...

I wish you and your musician colleagues lots of fun and success for the future.

All the best,

Daniela

We would like to express our appreciation to the parents who accompanied us on this trip. We couldn't have done it with you.

We would like to express our appreciation to Roger and Janet Samuel for their months of hard work to prepare us for this wonderful adventure, and for their constant support, guidance, and encouragement during the trip. Their love of music is only surpassed by their love of young people.

We greatly appreciate receiving the daily updates from Roger and the wonderful photography of Janet as she took almost all of the pictures on the site.

The orchestra's return flight is on Tuesday, July 10, on Lufthansa flight 456 from Frankfurt to Los Angeles.

Before you leave for the airport, you should check the actual arrival time. We will try to give you updates on arrival time here on the website or you can check directly with the Lufthansa web site.

As of 6:30 a.m. Pacific time:

The flight from Rome to Frankfurt left on time and arrived 14 minutes early into Frankfurt at 11:36 p.m. Pacific time.

Flight 456 from Frankfurt to Los Angeles departed at 1:10 a.m. Pacific time and is estimated to arrive at 12:09 p.m. (noon) Pacific time in Los Angeles at the Bradley terminal. Of course, the group must go through customs and immigration which could take as much as an hour.
