Modesto Symphony Orchestra To Present Virtual Event Featuring Ryan Murray And Don Grishaw

MODESTO, CA - The Modesto Symphony Orchestra (MSO) will present a free virtual event featuring MSO Associate Conductor and Modesto Symphony Youth Orchestra (MSYO) Music Director Ryan Murray and MSYO conductor Don Grishaw on Wednesday, September 23 at 7:00 pm. The live event will feature performances by Ryan Murray, Don Grishaw and his son Andrew (an MSYO alumni), and the MSYO String Quartet. 

“We’re excited to put the spotlight on our MSYO artistic staff and feature our conductors Ryan Murray and Don Grishaw,” said Caroline Nickel, President and CEO of the Modesto Symphony Orchestra. “We are all accustomed to seeing them on the podium, but we wanted to give our audiences the chance to hear Ryan and Don perform in a recital setting and to see some of their work with the MSYO students.”  

This will be the MSO’s third free virtual event and will be shown live on the MSO’s YouTube channel. Recordings of this event and past events are available to watch at ModestoSymphony.org. The MSO’s virtual events are free of charge to help bring music to everyone in the community.
