National Orchestral Institute + Festival at Home: Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8
Recorded at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center on June 8, 2019.
This year, The Clarice will deliver the National Orchestral Institute + Festival at Home! Throughout June 2020, NOI+F students will continue their orchestral training virtually and audiences will experience in-depth conversations through NOI+F at Noon streams, the virtual SPARK! Lounge and Saturday evening Philharmonic broadcasts.
Maryland-native Andrew Grams returned home in 2019 to lead a tour-de-force program anchored by Dvořák’s pastoral Symphony No. 8. In his eighth symphony, Dvořák invokes folk Bohemian idioms filled with earthy tones and bird-like sounds. Connect and create community at NOI+F’s virtual SPARK! Lounge 30 minutes before the philharmonic broadcast!
Broadcast Schedule:
7:30PM • SPARK! Virtual Lounge + Q&A
8PM • Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 8

The University of Maryland’s National Orchestral Institute + Festival trains aspiring orchestral musicians from across the country in a month of dynamic music-making and professional exploration. Chosen through a rigorous, cross-country audition process, these young artists present passionate and awe-inspiring performances of adventuresome repertoire at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center and in the College Park, MD community. In 2019, conductor David Alan Miller and the NOI+F Philharmonic received a Grammy nomination in the “Best Orchestral Performance” category for their Naxos recording “Ruggles, Stucky, Harbison.”
