The student-led Juilliard Chamber Orchestra is a central part of the Orpheus Institute at Juilliard program. Coached by members of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and based on the Orpheus model of collaborative leadership, students select repertoire, coordinate personnel, and help plan rehearsal schedules. From methods of musical communication to administrative problem solving, the Orpheus Institute provides students with instruction and experience in crucial arts leadership skill sets. By creating a working environment where students are empowered to make artistic and career decisions, Orpheus and Juilliard are together training a new generation of music entrepreneurs who will be prepared to lead in an evolving 21st-century arts marketplace. The Orpheus Institute at Juilliard is supported by a grant to Orpheus from The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation, and additional funding from the Skirball Foundation and individual donors to Orpheus. |
