Orchestra Long Island (OLI) offers residency programs for school orchestras and bands, including: sectional rehearsals, intense coaching sessions and personal interaction with professional musicians, full rehearsals, and a public side-by-side concert. Music teachers and OLI Music Director David Stewart Wiley (subject to availability) choose the music together. The program is designed to help students develop a lifelong interest in music and open their minds to the opportunities available through music. Students gain advanced ensemble skills such as listening across orchestra, learning to work better as a musical team, increasing technical skills in a creative and dynamic atmosphere, gaining in-depth knowledge of symphonic music, and being challenged at their highest artistic level.
During ten hours of in-depth coaching, students and professionals work on the technical details and nuances of the music in preparation for the conductor’s rehearsal. On concert day, there is a dress rehearsal with the combined orchestras, followed by a concert for parents, students and the community. Students perform beside their coaches and Orchestra Long Island.
Residency opportunities include student soloists, music teachers conducting a concert selection, commissioned works, and choral participation. Participating students are guests of OLI at master classes, rehearsals and concerts, subject to availability. OLI education department staff work with teachers and administrators to customize each residency, schedule the events, plan the details and provide support. Residencies may vary according to the needs of each school’s music program. Costs vary according to program needs.
