It is with great sadness that we share the news that our director and friend Dennis Cole passed away this morning. Thanks for all the time you gave to the orchestra over the last 60 years from all the hundreds of past members whose lives you influenced. Thanks also for the great memories of rehearsals, concerts, tours, and many, many, hours in the Regency. Our thoughts are with your family. RIP Den- you’ll be missed.
