Climb to new musical heights with Orchestra FLEX with Ascent: a musical meditation on upward movement, both literally and figuratively.
Featuring works by Lilli Boulanger, Lucrecia Kasilag, Luca Marenzio, Gustav Mahler, Franz Joseph Haydn, Led Zeppelin, and Beyoncé.
Orchestra FLEX is a re-imagined orchestra which provides an opportunity for large ensemble projects without being limited by instrumentation. Defined by the group’s collective voice, students take part in the full process of orchestral programming, navigating the real-world challenges and discoveries of concert production, planning, and performance while exploring the intersections of musical tradition, arrangement/composition, improvisation, technology, and innovation.
Thanks to our partnership with the Massachusetts Cultural Council and their “Card to Culture” program, Longy School of Music of Bard College can offer free tickets to many of our diverse and innovative performance offerings.
