Luke Frazier is a conductor, music director and pianist who believes that the future of music depends on breaking down barriers between musicians and audiences. His philosophy is that the most important priority for a modern conductor is not only musical excellence, but also to create diverse and engaging programming that brings communities together through the joy of music. Luke believes that conductors are the bridge between the audience and the orchestra and what he programs and how it relates to the listeners, is the heartbeat of what keeps orchestral programming alive.
Luke began as Principal Pops Conductor with the Symphony of the Americas in the 2024-2025 season, and most recently, beginning in the 2025-2026 season, Frazier will take over as Artistic and Music Director.
Sandy Riblett was born and raised in Pompano Beach, Florida. She has been with Symphony of the Americas since 1988 and is the current Orchestra Manager. She served under the Maestro, James Brooks-Bruzzese until his retirement in 2020. She is a member of the Symphony orchestra on violin and began playing the instrument when she was in fourth grade.
No stranger to the Symphony of the Americas stage, Hailey is elated to be joining the Symphony of the Americas team as the Marketing and Development Associate. Recently seen as a Featured Vocal Fellow in “Holiday POPS”(December) and “Broadway Showstoppers” (May), she is a passionate young artist. Hailey recently earned her Masters of Music in Musical Theatre from Florida International University and her Bachelor of Arts in Musical Theatre and a minor in Marketing from Eastern University. In her new role, she looks forward to strengthening community connections, enhancing communications, and supporting the Symphony’s mission through marketing and development initiatives.
