--Why call it Outdoor Orchestra?

Ventilation and plenty of it.
Outdoor venues present opportunities for safe gathering with the least attention to modifications. Outdoor venues allow easier access to the public and musicians.
Expenses and permissions are a bit less daunting.
Outdoor venues present the best, safest way for the public and the musicians to participate in something that restores a missing part of life while exploring new ways to stage and enjoy live orchestral performances.
Also: amplification and enhancement technologies allow that the players can collaborate across socially safe distances while producing concert-hall ambiance sonically.

--Who benefits from an Outdoor Orchestra?

We might ask that question of all art: "who benefits?"
The answer is perhaps another question: Who does NOT benefit? 
An orchestra "organism" of the first rank would bring all levels of experience together.
It can be a hub of networking and growth for the starting student, hobbyist, and seasoned professional to share in the musical, production, merchandising, and managerial
responsibilities each to their level of skill and desired participation.

--Why do this now when things seem doubly difficult to create a new entity?

If we build it they will come.
The public wants us and they are wary of costs.
Self managing and producing within the company brings quality music at sustainable overhead costs.
The result is jobs for professionals, cultural enhancement, cost free music education for children and teens, and at a sustainable level of commerce.

I get near breathless thinking through the possibilities as I write. 
Consider booking the OutdoorOrchestra.com or a small group from the ensemble for your event, wedding, corporate show, etc.

Our initial show date is costing $3600.
Subsequent bookings are in the $2400 range.

Keep us growing and we will give back ten-fold to the world.


Thanks,
