ORCHESTRALIST serves as a forum to discuss such matters as orchestral repertoire, performance questions, conducting technique, auditions, job opportunities (both professional and academic), marketing, publicity, organization, and other subjects. NOTE: this list is not a forum for discussion of recordings, anecdotes about conductors, and other "popular," though tangential, subjects (there are other forums devoted to these topics). It is specifically designed for the orchestra professional. Those encouraged to participate are conductors of college and college/ community orchestra, exceptional high school and youth orchestras, and professional ensembles -- essentially those groups that play works from the standard orchestral repertoire (as opposed to arrangements of such). Marketing directors, publicists, board members, and others are also encouraged to participate. This, by definition, will exclude discussion of band and purely choral repertoire. This is by design, though certainly not due to any prejudice. The orchestral literature, like that for chorus and band, is very specialized. For those involved in choral music there already exists a well-run list called CHORALIST. You can subscribe to it at listproc@lists. colorado.edu. Public school directors of all ensembles have an excellent forum in PNMN, an online service run by Pepper Music (call 800-345-6296 for more information). As far as I can determine, no Internet mailing list exists currently to serve the special needs of band directors. Perhaps someone may be interested in starting one. This list is managed by Dr. Andrew Levin, Assistant Professor of Music at Clemson University in South Carolina and conductor of the Clemson University Chamber Orchestra, a college/community orchestra. You can receive postings from ORCHESTRALIST in two ways: as they are posted throughout the day, or once a day in digest form. 1) To subscribe to ORCHESTRALIST, send an email message to: listproc@hubcap.clemson.edu with only the message subscribe ORCHESTRALIST listed in the body of the message. Anything in the "subject:" line or any additional text (such as signatures) will cause the subscription request to be rejected. 2) To subscribe to the digest version, send email to: listproc@hubcap.clemson.edu with the message: subscribe ORCHESTRALIST set ORCHESTRALIST mail digest in the body of the message. Welcome again to ORCHESTRALIST. If you have any questions, please write me, Andrew Levin, at alevin@hubcap.clemson.edu -- Andrew Levin alevin@clemson.edu
