Music students at Oklahoma State University had a rare opportunity to participate in masterclasses with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, one of the top orchestras in the country. The event, organized by the McKnight Center for the Performing Arts, was described as a major milestone for the university and the center.
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed two sold-out concerts in Stillwater and also conducted 14 master classes for students at the Greenwood School of Music. Participants like Madeline Naugle found the experience invaluable, learning from world-class musicians to improve their skills.
Access to performers of this caliber is limited, especially in Oklahoma, making this opportunity particularly significant for music students. The McKnight Center, known for attracting top-tier performers, will host several more events in the coming months, including a residency with the Martha Graham Dance Company and a performance by Broadway star Renee Elise Goldsberry.
The McKnight Center website provides information about upcoming events, providing students and the community with opportunities to engage with world-class performers and further their musical education. The success of the masterclasses with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra highlights the commitment of Oklahoma State University and the McKnight Center to providing high-quality arts programming for students and the public.
