Want to laugh and learn more about the history of orchestras?

Join us for How to Grow an Orchestra, a hilarious exploration of how orchestras have grown from the primitive conch shell to today’s dynamic ensembles of 60+ musicians! Hosted by comedian Lara Rae and led by guest conductor Armand Singh Birk, this crash course is complete with live demonstrations, historical deep dives, and just the right amount of sarcasm.

See the orchestra quite literally “grow” in size before your eyes, as more musicians take the stage in the order their instruments were introduced over time. It’s like time travel but with fewer paradoxes…
