Building an Orchestra NEW!

Students will learn how a symphony orchestra is run, from a business as well as an artistic perspective. Each lecture will address distinct issues. 1) Building the Organization explores orchestra’s societal functions, funding sources, and the many various administrative roles that form its support structure. 2) Building the Season involves creating a program, including choosing soloists, as well as the discussion of limitations and opportunities for symphonic music presentations in the Rogue Valley. 3) Building the Sound involves sonic identity, that is, how to make the orchestra sound good. Achieving quality in performance and the role of the audition process will be covered as well. Lastly, this lecture will address the landscape for a professional orchestral musician in the United States and abroad. Prior knowledge is not needed.
