L'Orchestra dell'Arte - bringing live music closer to you

Manager

Valerie WarrThe Manager of the Orchestra is clarinettist and saxophonist, Valerie Warr, whose musical career began at the age of five thanks to Miss Burrow’s Ballet School. Here the ability to identify and conduct 2, 3 and 4 beats to a bar was considered essential groundwork as was the recognition of compound times and rhythms and the ability to relate these to dance.
