Guest artists include Anthony McGill, principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic; Todd Strange, a tenor with the LA Master Chorale; and musicians from LACO including violinists Tereza Stanislav and Cheryl Norman-Brick, violist Robert Brophy, and cellist Giovanna Clayton. A panel discussion will follow, moderated by Derrick Spiva, LACO’s artist educator, and including McGill and Clayton as well as composer Juan Pablo Contreras and Akilah Morgan, executive assistant of the Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles (ICYOLA). Launched in August 2018, the Los Angeles Orchestra Fellowship was conceived by a partnership of ICYOLA, LACO, and USC Thornton.
