Educational Outreach

 

Orpheus seeks to inspire the next generation of choral artists.

An important part of our work is inspiring the next generation of choral singers. Our educational programs include:

  • A partnership with Carter High School in Dallas ISD, providing private lessons and sectional coaching at no cost to students

  • High school choir master classes led by Artistic Director J.D. Burnett

  • Open rehearsals for undergraduate and graduate choral conducting students

  • Bulk discount tickets for school choirs attending concerts

For more information about our educational programs, please email Caitlin Wells Molechat, Outreach Coordinator.
