An orchestra of leaders
The Orpheum Foundation establishes an "Orpheum Supporters Orchestra" - a project orchestra made up of personalities from business, politics, research, culture and science who play an orchestral instrument at the highest level in their free time.
The musicians of the Orpheum Supporters Orchestra can work on masterpieces in a professional setting and perform with young soloists. This also provides opportunities to cultivate and expand their personal network. The project aims to raise awareness of the Orpheum Foundation among opinion leaders in society and build new relationships with sponsors and patrons.
The participants of the Orpheum Supporter Orchestra are invited to make a contribution to the project. This income is part of the project budget.
The Orpheum Supporter Orchestra will perform works by Mozart, Sarasate and Bizet at the Tonhalle Zurich on Wednesday, April 20, 2016. The soloists are former Orpheum soloist Claire Huangi, young Orpheum soloist Aurelia Shimkus and SRF Head of Culture Nathalie Wappler (pianos) and Elin Kolev (violin). Howard Griffiths conducts.
