Since 2003, the WBS Orchestra is conducted by Svetlana Nikonova, a conservatory trained conductor, arranger and performer. The WBS Orchestra consists of over sixty volunteer musicians who wear traditional Russian costumes. Concerts feature soloists, both local and abroad, to ensure that each performance is remarkable.
