The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra at Baruch College (674 words) |
 | Orpheus is a conductorless, multi-leadered orchestra of international reknown. |
| The conductorless "Orpheus Model" makes it an artistic home for dozens of virtuoso musicians to practice their art with freedom to experiment, explore, and work together, within a framework of mutual respect and commitment, toward the attainment of a common goal. |
| The Orpheus process (including, for example, the way leadership responsibilities in the orchestra shift throughout each piece of music in response to the demands of the score) is also the subject of a case study by Harvard University Professor J. Richard Hackman. |
| Orpheus Chamber Orchestra Oct. 5 (479 words) |
| The centerpiece of each Orpheus season is its five-concert series at Carnegie Hall, the orchestra's official New York home. |
| The ensemble developed its approach to the study and performance of this repertoire by bringing to the orchestral setting the chamber music principles of personal involvement and mutual respect. |
| Orpheus is a self-governing organization; the players demand of one another a high level of personal and musical responsibility and they rotate seating positions to give each player the opportunity to lead a section. |
