In the Community

Photo by Geoff Sheil The Clarice is building the future of the arts by training, mentoring and presenting the next generation of artists and creative innovators. As artists develop their craft as performers, they must become instigators of meaningful dialogue, creative research and audience connection. These skills are developed through engagement activities both on and off campus. As part of their work to create the orchestra of the future, NOI musicians perform, educate, and befriend members of the community through a variety of events at schools, retirement centers, churches and community centers.
