Eroica Lab Orchestra In collaboration with the Beethoven Club of Memphis, Eroica Ensemble is sponsoring a series of Lab Orchestra reading sessions. The goal of the Lab Orchestra is to aid in the development of the next generation of musical leaders in Memphis and surrounding areas. The Lab Orchestra will give aspiring conductors and instrumentalists a chance to rehearse and perform the great works of the Classical repertoire. This program is made possible by a grant from ArtsMemphis and the Tennessee Arts Commission. Conducting Workshop Each summer, the Eroica Ensemble sponsors a conducting workshop hosted by The University of Memphis. A new element in the community, this ten-day masterclass is geared towards professional musicians and aspiring conductors. Participants at the 2009 workshop included college-age students, choir directors, university music professors, and professional orchestral players.
