This is not your grandmother's chamber concert. You will hear Bach but you will also hear original works by live composers and lively jazz rhythms.

It will be a tour de force not only for her. It will give the entire orchestra a workout. We have the big city sound here in Merced.

The acquisition of Guggenheim Alternative Asset Management is a further step in this plan and will provide us with products and expertise in the alternative investment sector, which is an increasingly important segment of the investment market. We believe their sophisticated fund of hedge funds platform will be an attractive option for our institutional clients.
