Guest artists

Maestro Udagawa has led the Midcoast Symphony Orchestra as guest conductor multiple times. Udagawa's connection to the musicians on stage and his relaxed manner and ability to speak from the podium have made him a perennial favorite of both the Midcoast's audience and orchestra members.

Tessa Lark has been praised by critics and audiences alike for her astounding range of sounds, technical agility and musical elegance.
