He is a great guy. Threatens attendance more than her truly enforces it but he is one inspiring conductor :)

Oriol is one of the most amazing professors ever! If you take Symphony Orchestra, you will be happy Oriol is the conductor! Not only that, but he is very understanding with conflict and can sometimes crack some jokes to lighten the mood during rehearsal! Highly recommend for all music majors!
