Eric Scheider marks his fourth season directing the Jubilee! Summer Orchestra in 2010, following the 16-odd years of the tenure of JSO founder Maestro Earl Hefley.  Eric is endeavoring to continue the orchestra’s wonderful tradition of creative programming, including premiering new works, and diverse repertoire.
