Orchestra Long Island (OLI) offers residencies for school orchestras and bands. The online program can include sectional rehearsals, intense coaching sessions and personal interaction with professional musicians, master classes, panel discussions, and virtual small ensemble rehearsals & performances.
Music teachers and OLI Music Director David Stewart Wiley (subject to availability) work together to choose the music. The program is designed to help students develop a lifelong interest in music and open their minds to the opportunities available to them through music. Students gain advanced ensemble skills such as listening across the orchestra and learning to work better as a musical team. They also have the opportunity to increase their technical skills in a creative and dynamic atmosphere, gain in-depth knowledge of symphonic music and to be 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. Residency opportunities include student soloists, music teachers conducting a concert selection, commissioned works, and combined performances of multiple student performing groups (i.e., orchestra and chorus). 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.
