A New Way Of Training Musicians In Minn.

The St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and the University of Minnesota have teamed up to take a different approach to training musicians. “We’re trying to address the fact that orchestra jobs are changing dramatically in the 21st century. The demands that are being placed on members of orchestras, the breadth of musical skills, the scope of interpersonal skills they have to bring, the score of entrepreneurial skills they need, are vastly different from the expectations of 25 to 30 years ago.”
