Learn to Conduct
Whether you are currently conducting an ensemble, are planning to, have always wanted to, or are just curious about the art of conducting, you’ll want to join us for a series of interactive video sessions led by conductor, composer, arranger Adam Stern! Based in Seattle, he has led the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra since 2003. Adam has also conducted several of OICMF's outdoor concerts. His skills, knowledge, and wit will make these sessions entertaining and enthralling. You can read more about Adam here:
https://www.adamsternconductor.com/
.
There will be four Sunday evening sessions on
Jan. 19, Jan. 26, Feb. 2,
and
Feb. 9
. Thanks to a grant from the Gould Family Foundation, there is no charge to attend. For more information on how to tune in, either remotely or with the on-Orcas group at the Public Library, contact Tracy at
tracy@oicmf.org

February 15 – 21
,
and you will see and hear many familiar OICMF artists playing and giving talks (and hiking, exercising, eating lots of very tasty, very healthy food…with you!).
Aloysia, Jackie,
the
Miró Quartet, Chee-Yun,
and
Monique Mead
will all be there, as well as a number of friends of OICMF you’ll recognize. We hope you’ll join us, too. Here’s all the
skinny
