"I wish Dr. Fetler and the Rochester Chamber Orchestra great success and all the best as they celebrate their 50th anniversary," said Remmereit.

"Composers of African Descent - Part 1: The French Connection" is the lively theme of the concert set for Sunday, October 27 at 3 p.m. at Hochstein Performance Hall in Rochester.
