This is First Time in Show’s 19-Year History an Orchestra has been Featured
The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, considered one of America’s finest chamber orchestras, will be the headline musical act for a romantic one-on-one date on an upcoming episode of The Bachelor. The episode will feature a special Cinderella-inspired date where the Orchestra will serenade one lucky lady and the newest Bachelor, Chris Soules. This is the first time in the show’s 19-year history that an orchestra has been featured. The episode is scheduled to air Monday, January 26, 2015, at 8/7c on ABC.
Chris Soules, the handsome and successful new Bachelor who has become known as “Prince Farming,” introduced himself to last season’s Bachelorette Andi Dorfman, and female fans fell hard for the soft-spoken man with a heart of gold. Now, this dreamboat farmer and wealthy businessman from Iowa is looking to fall in love and find a wife — and bring her back home to share a life with him in the small Iowa town of Arlington. With the support of his family and the state of Iowa rooting for him, Chris truly believes he can find the right woman to share a life with. Follow Chris Soules’ search for his soul mate in the 19th edition of The Bachelor Mondays (8:00–10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
