Global Music Academy Orchestra

[newsletter]

The Global Music Academy Orchestra is an educational ensemble consisting of handpicked professional mentors who rehearse and perform alongside developing young students of the highest caliber from Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, long Island, Westchester and Putnam Counties

The rehearsals take place over one to three months, and are a deeply transformative experience for the young students.
The Global Music Academy Orchestra performed at the Awakening Concert in 2016 at the Paramount Hudson Valley Theatre in NY, and at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center in 2017.

"My student Max Pushkin became a much stronger player after the experience - his timing, sight reading, syncopated rhythms, and overall confidence improved. He and his family were overwhelmingly impressed with the Paramount Hudson Valley performance and he will be gratefully returning for our concert at Lincoln Center."
