6V��Ӱ��

This page documents all of the repertoire performed by the 6V��Ӱ�� Orchestra since the beginning of the 1995-96 season, the first year of Eric Lindholm’s leadership of the orchestra. The 6V��Ӱ�� Orchestra presents four full-length programs each season. In the four years of a typical college career, a huge amount of music can be enjoyed and performed. As always, the orchestra’s repertoire includes music in a wide historical range, from the eighteenth century to the present day. Some pieces are established masterworks, while others are lesser-known gems that few musicians ever get the chance to explore.

2020-21 Repertoire

During the 2020-21 academic year, the orchestra operated in a hybrid format. Classroom-style meetings included such topics as “The Best Beethoven Symphony You Don’t Know Very Well,” an examination of the Venezuelan music education program El Sistema, the history of the Leipzig Gewendhaus Orchestra, and the music and career of Joan Tower. Also featured were guest appearances from the worlds of orchestra administration, music education, and instrument repair, as well as a presentation by LA Philharmonic concertmaster Martin Chalifour. The performance projects were, in each semester, a new piece composed in response to the challenges posed by online ensemble playing, including the inevitable time lags arising from having participants from all over the world. The audio platform Cleanfeed enabled something approaching a live ensemble experience, and post-performance editing brought the final document to the level of synchrony that would have been possible in an in-person setting.
