In 2007 Maestro Piotr Gajewski, Conductor of the Strathmore Philharmonic, spent three months mentoring the Clemente Orchestras on a weekly basis. His main objective was to equip the Orchestra for their competition at the Montgomery County Public School Middle School Band Festival.
The results of his investment was a "superior" rating (the highest possible) at Festival and a tremendous love and enthusiasm for playing in the students!
Thank you Maestro for all your efforts!
