They play in New York and in Connecticut. The Orchestra of St Lukes got to play a concert at Carnegie Hall which was organized by Paul McCartney. I was lucky to be part of that because we played his new classical orchestral pieces and we got to work with him extensively. This concert was to promote his new Classical album which came out recently. I have been in contact with Nermine El Sissi this year.
