a broad array of styles in a variety of solo and ensemble roles in the NY/Philadelphia metropolitan areas.
The conductor of the Rider University Choir and Music Minister of Calvary Baptist Church in Hopewell, NJ, he has conducted
choirs of all ages and abilities for 30 years. Mr. Orr serves on the faculty of the
