Group 1 & Group 2 Orchestras

All Orchestral Program participants can request to play in either the Group 1 or Group 2 orchestras. Academy staff will work to create a balanced participant to BSO musician ratio so each participant can receive as much individual attention as possible. We will do our best to place you in the group you request but cannot guarantee it. Program participants also have the option to perform in both groups, if space is available, for an additional fee ($700). Note: participation in both groups will preclude attendance at some lectures and classes.

The Orchestral Program includes:

• Three orchestra rehearsals for each participant, side-by-side with the BSO culminating in a public performance at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall
• New this year! Two Instrument sectionals led by BSO musicians to focus on preparation for the week’s repertoire
• Participant only pre-rehearsals with Maestro Rush prior to first Side-by-Side rehearsal with BSO
• Class curriculum includes
• Workshops for all instruments focusing on reading ensemble music and instrument specific topics
• Chamber music workshops with Lura Johnson, featuring works for piano and for woodwinds, piano, and strings
• Enrichment presentations include:
• Musical insights on the week’s repertoire with Caitlin Brown
• Music, Aging and the Brain with Dr. Alexander Pantelyat
• Vision for Musicians with Paul Alan Harris, OD
• Meditation and Movement with Marcia McHugh
