Workshops & Master Classes
Each year, OSM musicians venture out to meet with students and teachers. Their visits are valuable opportunities to make first-hand connections, awaken young people’s interest in music, and inspire them. Whether to showcase their instrument, speak about the musician’s profession, or give a chamber music performance, these school visits offer students some very special and motivating moments.
