MYSO Participates in Premier Orchestral Institute 2019

The Premier Orchestral Insitute (POI) is the intensive summer festival sponsored by the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra for string players from beginner to advanced levels. It is held each summer in the first week of June and is a wonderful opportunity for our musicians to expand upon their orchestral training.

At POI great value is placed upon the social experience that comes with learning side-by-side with fellow students and instructors from all over the world. Musicians expand their personal and professional networks and form friendships that stand the test of time and distance.

Orchestral playing is at the core of the program. Students go through all aspects of the orchestral experience (audition, sectionals, full rehearsals, and concerts) under the leadership of world-class musicians in a nurturing and exciting learning environment. Additionally, all POI students have access to master classes, chamber music, community outreach concerts, and masterful performances by the POI faculty.
