PASQUALE VALERIO, MAESTRO

BASED IN FLORIDA'S FRIENDLIEST HOMETOWN, "THE VILLAGES PHILHARMONIC" IS A PROFESSIONAL ORCHESTRA PRESENTING THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE STANDARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN MUSICAL PERFORMANCE SINCE 2003.

Most members live in the Orlando area but we have regular members who come from as far afield as Jacksonville, Tampa, Daytona and St. Petersburg. The Philharmonic gives 13-15 concerts per year and so we don't provide full time employment for any of the players. Our players are comprised of resident and international artists who collaborate with symphonic and operatic companies at large. Although most orchestra members are not Villagers, there are two professional orchestra members who are Village residents and there are six amateurs who train each Saturday so that they can meet the standards required to play with the Philharmonic.

JON LEHRER started his company in 2007 in Buffalo, NY, and officially moved the company to NYC in 2019. In their short history, Jon Lehrer Dance has received much critical acclaim nationally and internationally. Under his artistic direction, the company showcases Jon's unique choreography and embodies his definitive style. His extensive background in both the modern and jazz dance idioms fosters choreography that is organic, artistic, accessible, and often humorous, reflecting life experience and the human condition.

The company's expressive style is based on three main elements of movement - Circularity, 3-Dimensionality, and Momentum - which combine to create a form that is best described as "Organically Athletic." Integrating the approach and fluidity of modern dance and the excitement and energy of jazz dance, Jon Lehrer Dance offers a captivating style of movement. The Chicago Tribune writes, "A small enviable team of dynamite dancers." Jon and his dancers bring their own unique skills to the vernacular, keeping it fresh and ever-evolving.
