The New Ground Festival Orchestra provides the opportunity for professional musicians and community to come together and explore what it means to be world class performers and also make time and space for individual and community health. Musicians will engage in community service, movement, artistic, and health session, collegial conversations about balance and health, rehearsals, masterclasses and Q and A for young musicians, and celebrate with a closing concert. The surrounding community will have the opportunity to observe open rehearsals, share meals, attend masterclasses and Q and A sessions, and enjoy the final concert.
