Orpheus Chamber Orchestra Visits Middle School in Miyagi

Members of the New York-based Orpheus Chamber Orchestra conducted a music workshop for 100 students at Shukoh Middle School in Tagajo City, Miyagi Prefecture on May 31, 2012. The Orpheus musicians, who were on their 11th tour of Japan, practiced a piece by Sibelius with music students, performed a Rossini overture, and discussed their musical careers and experiences with students and faculty. Some of the Shukoh School Orchestra members were also invited to the Orpheus concert later that evening in Sendai.
