Joining Pacific Symphony for this performance is Amaryn Olmeda, a rising star and winner of the first prize at the 24th Annual Sphinx Competition. Olmeda has garnered critical acclaim for her commanding stage presence, infallible technique, and interpretive ability, which already rival those of seasoned international concert stage veterans. Her recent highlights include debut performances with prominent orchestras such as the Cleveland Orchestra, Houston Symphony, and Chicago Sinfonietta, as well as a celebrated recording debut with Deutsche Grammophon.
Dr. Jacob Sustaita, serving as the assistant conductor of Pacific Symphony since 2020, brings a wealth of experience and energy to the podium. His leadership extends beyond Pacific Symphony, as he also directs the Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra and the Orange County School of the Arts Symphony Orchestra.
