Peter Leitch New Life Orchestra Comes to The 75 Club

Peter Leitch New Life Orchestra comes to The 75 Club, Friday, November 30 & Saturday, December 1 at 8 and 10pm.

Due to recent health issues Peter has not been able to play the guitar as the result of extreme nerve damage to his nerve plexus on his left arm from radiation and chemotherapy, but is now in recovery writing and conducting new music for his 14 piece New Life Orchestra.

Peter says, "Although I miss the 'in the moment' improvisational aspects, not being able to play an instrument has allowed me to conceptualize music in a larger, more orchestral sense. At the same time, I realize the importance of integrating enough space in the music for these great soloists."
