Orchestra Residencies Program

We are pleased to announce the Orchestra Residencies Program awardees for the 2011/2012 season: the Eugene Symphony and Arts Umbrella youth orchestras in Oregon, and the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra and Arlington County / T.C. Williams High School Orchestras in Virginia. These outstanding organizations were selected by an objective committee of arts professionals, based on fulfillment of a variety of criteria as documented in their applications.

Through ORP, Midori will spend five to seven days each in Eugene and Alexandria, working intensively with the youth orchestras, performing with the adult symphonies, and participating in assorted education, advocacy and outreach projects.

Next ORPs: Orchestra Residencies in 2010/11 will be with the Chattanooga Symphony & Youth Orchestras in Tennessee and the Quad City Symphony and Youth Symphony Orchestras in Davenport, Iowa.
