This one-day learning and networking experience is designed by and for those who manage youth orchestras or work in orchestra youth education. It is a time to gather together and discuss a wide range of issues and ideas that are specific to working with youth in the orchestra field. It's also a wonderful way to network with your peers, share resources, policies, and best practices, and brainstorm solutions to common challenges. See the overview agenda below. Please note that times and activities are not yet finalized and are subject to change.
Optional Dinner
The group will gather for an optional no-host dinner the night before the event on Thursday, March 27th at Luna Red Restaurant and Bar. ACSO will pay the bill and attendees will be invoiced for the cost of their dinner the week after the event.
Who should attend?
Youth orchestra administrators, board, and volunteers; orchestra education staff; anyone working with young musicians and youth audiences in an orchestra setting.
