University of Iowa Opera Orchestra

Fall/Spring 2019 - 2020

Note from Professor Becker: The UI Artist Instrumental Faculty will select performers from the UISO to perform the two UI Operas. I have requested that both Operas only use solo string players. These Opera musicians will be excused from all UISO rehearsals during the Opera production period. They will then rejoin the UISO after the Opera production to perform the next UISO concert. I will also try to give them a couple extra free days, following the Opera Production. These string players will rejoin the UISO in the back of their sections. I hope that this compromise arrangement will guarantee quality Orchestras for the Opera, provide the important Opera educational experience for the students, and also consider the health and well-being of these students.
