March 13, 2023 | Members Meeting

Join us for our Sarasota Orchestra Friends Season Finale meeting: Olivia Steinman Deems, Director of Artistic Operations, will moderate a fascinating panel presentation titled "A Week in the Life of Sarasota Orchestra." Expert panelists from the Orchestra staff will include Production Manager Lorenzo Mills, Technical Director Dan Byers, and Director of Education Alyson Rozier. We'll be exploring an important question... How in the world do they do it? The concerts, rehearsals, youth orchestras... transporting instruments, setting up equipment... Caring for guest artists and conductors... backstage, onstage, practice rooms, meetings... who goes where... and when? It's a typical week in the life of Sarasota Orchestra!

Monday, March 13, 2023, 10:30a – 12:00p in David Cohen Hall
