Composition of a year
Two days to go before I pack my life into a Camry and make the 20+ hour trek from Chicago to Aspen. Currently I am halfway packed and droopy eyed but filled with blog ideas for upcoming posts. For now however, I would like to simply lay down some more groundwork and present my path for the next year.
As I mentioned above, I will be kicking the year off in Aspen, CO (quote count from the film Dumb and Dumber is well into triple digits). From June 3 to August 26, my primary responsibility will be managing the Aspen Festival Orchestra, one of several pre-professional orchestras under the umbrella of the Aspen Music Festival and School.
During the beginning of June, my two colleagues and I will take a brief hiatus to Pittsburgh and attend the League's
National Conference.
Then from the beginning of September to the end of December, my first host orchestra assignment will be with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra under the direction of their executive director Ruth Eliel.
Following a weeklong Christmas vacation, I will reunite with the other Fellows in New York, NY for a two-week meet and greet with leaders in the music industry coupled with participation in several sessions of the League's Essentials of Orchestra Management seminar.
From here, the next approximate seven weeks will be spent with executive director Ryan Fleur at the Memphis Symphony Orchestra.
The conclusion of my tenure in Memphis will bring about my third and final residency with the Pittsburgh Symphony. During this 14-week time period from early March to early June, Larry Tamburri will be my mentor.
Finally, the 04-05 Fellows will have the opportunity to meet and pass the baton to the following year’s class in Washington DC at the League's 60th National Conference from June 11-18.
So much to look forward to yet so much to pack. For now, I think I will get some shuteye.
