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.
