Tucson, AZ - Pima Community College Music presents the Orchestra in concert, under the direction of Dr. Alexander Tentser. The program consists of well-known classical compositions including selections from the Tchaikovsky's ballet “Nutcracker," as well as pieces by Liszt, Berlioz, Haydn and Mozart.

He conducted the production of the oratorio "Esther" with the Jill Wieck Singers and Orchestra in March 2009, in Tucson.
