Recorded at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center on June 30, 2018.

This year, The Clarice will deliver the National Orchestral Institute + Festival at Home! Throughout June 2020, NOI+F students will continue their orchestral training virtually and audiences will experience in-depth conversations through NOI+F at Noon streams, the virtual SPARK! Lounge and Saturday evening Philharmonic broadcasts. 

In 2018, the National Orchestral Institute + Festival revived Doug Fitch's groundbreaking production of Stravinsky's Petrushka first created in 2008 at the University of Maryland School of Music and later seen in performances by the New York Philharmonic. Since then, the production has toured to other professional orchestras including the Oregon Symphony and the Columbus Symphony. The ballet score is infused with orchestra participation, puppeteers, live video and other special effects! Connect and create community at NOI+F’s virtual SPARK! Lounge 30 minutes before the broadcast!

 Broadcast Schedule:

7:30PM • SPARK! Virtual Lounge
8PM • Igor Stravinsky: Petrushka (1911)
