We’re excited to be heading to the 2026 League of American Orchestras National Conference in Baltimore, taking place June 1–3, with pre-conference sessions beginning May 31. The event brings together orchestra administrators, educators, and artistic leaders from across the country, creating an important opportunity to exchange ideas, strengthen partnerships, and stay connected to the evolving needs of the orchestral community. We’ll be represented throughout the week by Barbara Brown, Director of Orchestras, Glenn Quirion, Director of Business Development, and Julian Edwards, Program Consultant. Together, they’ll be meeting with orchestra leaders and partners to discuss performance travel, audience engagement, student experiences, and long-term ensemble development. We’re also proud to sponsor the EdCE and YOD Pre-Conference Half Day Meeting on Sunday, May 31 from 1:00 to 6:00 PM. The session brings together professionals focused on education, community engagement, and youth orchestra development, creating space for collaboration and shared ideas. As part of the session, we’ll offer a brief welcome at the start of the program in support of the important work happening across youth and community music organizations. Throughout the event, we’ll also be exhibiting and connecting with attendees at our booth. Whether your organization is actively planning a tour or simply exploring future opportunities, we’d love to connect and share ideas about meaningful performance travel experiences for orchestras and ensembles. If you’ll be attending, we hope you’ll join the EdCE and YOD session and stop by to meet Barbara, Glenn, and Julian. We’re looking forward to being in Baltimore and to the conversations ahead.
