The New World Symphony in Miami Beach, Florida has expanded its online platform MUSAIC to include partnerships with nine leading universities and conservatories. The New World Symphony’s nine MUSAIC founding partners are the Cleveland Institute of Music, Curtis Institute of Music, Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester, Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Manhattan School of Music, the Royal Danish Academy of Music, San Francisco Conservatory of Music, the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and the University of Southern California. Partners will collaborate with the New World Symphony to capture, edit, and provide video content. Previously the platform was available to a small group of university and conservatory students and the New World Symphony itself. MUSAIC’s platform includes videos of master classes; demonstrations of excerpts from the classical repertoire by musicians including Joseph Alessi, principal trombone of the New York Philharmonic, and Michael Rusinek, principal clarinet of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra; instructional videos such as Boston Symphony Orchestra percussionist Frank Epstein on cymbal technique; and online “hang-outs” with conductors and orchestral musicians.
