Conductor, symphony give outstanding show at COM

I am writing to give a thousand kudos to the Marin Symphony and its new conductor Fawzi Haimor. The recent concert I attended was absolutely delightful, memorable and over-the-top fantastic. The talent and zest of Haimor and the musicians were truly impressive. Carey Bell, the guest clarinetist, played the instrument like I’ve never seen or heard before.

The performance took place in a temporary home at the College of Marin as the symphony’s permanent home is under renovation.
