What is the Musical Encounters Program?
The Musical Encounters Program is an extensive in-school education and awareness program. Through this program, we take our Laureates into schools in underserved areas nationwide to perform for the students and engage in a question and answer session. These engagements usually involve a brief performance of a work by a minority composer or a piece that is familiar to the students - possibly a spiritual. Afterwards, a question and answer session is held during which students have the opportunity to talk with our Laureate and learn more about his or her instrument, techniques and interests as well as why he or she began playing and, most importantly, how they might begin playing a string instrument. The Musical Encounters Program also occurs in conjunction with our Professional Development Program. When a Laureate travels to perform with a professional orchestra, he or she also visits schools in that city.
