Based in the Pacific Northwest, Orchestra Next remixes the orchestral model by resurrecting the tradition of the mentor-apprentice relationship. This is an effort to bring live music back to the Eugene Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker. Orchestra Next will combine Eugene’s creative young professionals with the region’s most talented protégés. This model is a pioneering, innovative type of pre-professional and post-professional orchestra that will create a fresh hybrid atmosphere, mixing modern pop culture with ruthless classicism.
