Orchestral Librarianship: Making Music Happen Offstage
A detailed description of the duties and skills required of an orchestral librarian for a major symphony orchestra. While this work takes place behind-the-scenes, the presentation will discuss how this work directly affects the product performed onstage. Integral to the concert production process, from conception and planning to the downbeat of the conductor's baton, the orchestral librarian must fulfill a number of different roles within the organization, hence bridging the gap between the corporate offices and the stage.
