Opportunities

Get a Coaching

Musicians of the Philharmonic rehearse sections of your band or orchestra separately to focus on instrument-specific issues.

Take a Master Class

Your top students perform individually for a Philharmonic musician, who offers supportive critique while the rest of the group listens and learns.

Join a Conductor's Clinic

One of the Philharmonic's skilled clinicians leads a rehearsal of your ensemble working on areas of technique and interpretation in consultation with the ensemble director.

Attend a Pre-Concert Workshop

A dynamic speaker takes your group on an in-depth exploration of compositions they've come to hear.

Enjoy a Post-Concert Discussion

Students engage in dialogue with a Philharmonic musician directly after hearing them perform.
