MUSIC FOR THE NEXT GENERATION…

A critical component of Salem Orchestra’s mission is our commitment to Educational Outreach. We offer half-price tickets for students to experience the power of great orchestral music, and Salem Orchestra puts on an annual summer music camp, Salem Orchestra Music Academy, serving our area’s student musicians with high quality musical instruction and memorable collaborative experiences.

Jack Glantz Student Conducting Program

Introducing a unique program for students with an interest in conducting. The Jack Glantz Student Conducting Program is the only one of its kind in the Willamette Valley. It usually is not until late in one’s college career that they will have the opportunity to start learning conducting skills. Our goal is to give students in our area a head start, learning these skills at a younger age, straight from our artistic director, Christopher Noel. This program will teach students conducting techniques with potential for podium time at a professional Salem Orchestra rehearsal. Not only are these skills valuable to learn, they also create an advantage on their college applications. We would love nothing more than to empower these students with the skills and knowledge that will help pave the way to their artistic and professional success.

Up to four students per year will be accepted into this program on scholarship. Stay tuned for more information. Application information available November 2019.
