“Irradiance” featuring the Daisy Jopling Band, Orchestra 914 & students Internationally acclaimed, classical/rock star violinist Daisy Jopling is thrilled to collaborate with Orchestra 914 and Hudson Valley students on a full orchestra mentorship show at the Paramount Hudson Valley Theater called “Irradiance”.
