As we look ahead to our many commissioning and recording projects, as well as our deepening impact in the community, I look forward to collaborating with Kevin on helping to guide our orchestra’s continued growth and evolution.”
An active soloist and chamber musician, Bate has performed as a featured soloist with orchestras throughout Europe and North America. He also serves as Principal Cellist of Orchestra Kentucky and plays cello in the Gloriosa Piano Trio.
