A word about our Music Director Emeritus…

 

Raffaele Faraco is the Musical Director Emeritus of the Baltimore Philharmonia Orchestra. Mr. Faraco, a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, is a longtime member of the Baltimore musical community. He toured the world as a violinist in the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra for 37 years. He spent 27 of those years as the Concertmaster of the Gettysburg Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Faraco became the Musical Director of the Gettysburg Symphony in 1990; he retired from the GSO in 1993 to pursue personal interests. When he was approached with this orchestra’s organizational concept, he came out of retirement with the enthusiasm of a 200-piece orchestra! After 13 years of extraordinary service with the orchestra, Maestro Faraco retired as the Music Director of the BPO in 2011, and is now its Music Director Emeritus.
